SABMiller launches Miller Genuine Draft in Colombia
23 July 2010
SABMiller today announces that it will be launching its international premium brand, Miller Genuine Draft, in Colombia. Earlier this month the brand was also launched into the Peruvian market.
Miller Genuine Draft (MGD) is already drunk by consumers in 73 markets around the world and the launch in Colombia will ensure that SABMiller further strengthens its global international premium offering.
Colombia was chosen because its consumers are becoming increasingly cosmopolitan and look for unique and relevant brands with which to associate. In addition, Miller Genuine Draft's smooth and refreshing flavour profile will appeal to local tastes and complement SABMiller's existing portfolio in the country which includes Águila, Águila Light, Club Colombia, Poker, Pilsen, Costeña, Redd's and Peroni Nastro Azzurro.
Jorge Iván Correa, Global Brands Director at SABMiller's Colombian subsidiary, Bavaria, comments: "The launch of this iconic global brand is part of our strategy to continue to develop the international premium lager market in Colombia. Because of the way Miller Genuine Draft is made, the way it tastes and the way it looks, it will serve as the perfect accompaniment to the exciting social scene and energy we see in the country's great cities."
The brand will target socially active 18-29 year old male and female consumers and will be initially launched in sites in the urban areas of Bogota, Occidente, Costa and Medellin. MGD will be positioned as 'an icon of cosmopolitan cool' with initial marketing activation including innovative use of social media and selective press advertising.
Miller Genuine Draft's smooth, refreshing flavour is a result of rigorous selection of only the finest ingredients and a unique brewing and cold-filtration process. After brewing, the beer is immediately cooled to around 35 degrees Fahrenheit then filtered four times. During the final filtration, the ice-cold beer is run through ceramic filters to give Miller Genuine Draft its rich golden glow.
SABMiller plc is one of the world's largest brewers with brewing interests and distribution agreements across six continents. The group's wide portfolio of brands includes premium international beers such as Pilsner Urquell, Peroni Nastro Azzurro, Miller Genuine Draft and Grolsch, as well as leading local brands such as Aguila, Castle, Miller Lite, Snow and Tyskie. SABMiller is also one of the world's largest bottlers of Coca-Cola products.
In the year ended 31 March 2010, the group reported US$3,803 million adjusted pre-tax profit and group revenue of US$26,350 million. SABMiller plc is listed on the London and Johannesburg stock exchanges.

Burglar caught on pensioner's CCTV
10:17am Tuesday 10th December 2013 in National News © Press Association 2014
CCTV footage showing burglar Patrick Reid, 51, raiding the home of pensioner Margaret Woodward, 68, as she naps in an armchair at her home in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
Chilling footage has been released showing a burglar standing over a sleeping pensioner as he raids her home.
The footage captured Patrick Reid, 51, looming over Margaret Woodward as she naps in an armchair in front of the television at her home in Long Eaton, Derbyshire.
Mrs Woodward, 68, was subjected to five burglaries on her home in a year, and said she was left feeling terrified.
She told the Daily Mail: "It was very frightening to wake up knowing there was somebody in my house but I was determined not to let him get away."
Brazen Reid, wearing a blue top with the hood up and a rucksack on his back, was caught on film during the April incident after police installed cameras in Mrs Woodward's home to catch the culprit.
He is seen tiptoeing around the dozing pensioner, often at times just inches from her face, and seen lifting her handbag from the basket of her mobility scooter and rifling through the contents.
In the last raid Mrs Woodward was woken when Reid set off an alarm and the brave pensioner chased him away with her walking stick.
Mrs Woodward, who suffers from severe arthritis in both knees, told the newspaper she wanted to break his kneecaps so he could not escape.
"I thought I'd be able to get him but he ran into my bedroom, jumped on to the bed and went straight out of the window like a gymnast tackling a hobby horse," she said.
She was awarded £1,500 for her pluck from the High Sheriff's fund, Derbyshire Police said.
Reid was later jailed for four years and eight months for two burglaries.
Detective Constable Gill Richardson, the investigating officer in the case, said: "The CCTV footage is chilling to watch and it's particularly shocking how brazen Reid is in it, being just inches away from Margaret.
"It's something that just gets more shocking the more times you see it.
"We install these cameras in homes where someone has been a repeat victim of crime, or where we believe the homeowner is vulnerable.
"This case shows just how valuable they are and these cameras have helped bring to justice a prolific burglar, who caused such a massive amount of distress to his victim."

"I'm using LNP XE every week to perform modeling on a variety of projects from small capacity analysis/capital investment decisions to quarterly financial forecasting and annual budgeting for capacity utilization, plant manufacturing, and shipping territories. LNP XE has allowed us to create clear pictures of our network, starting with a best-case utopia state and then quantifying the impact of each constraint." - Chad Montgomery, Supply Chain Network Strategy Manager, Johnson Controls, Inc

Johnson Controls Power Solutions delivers batteries to its more than 10,000 customer locations on a regular basis. This world-class delivery operates within a closed-loop battery supply chain. On delivery of batteries to its customers, Johnson Controls picks up spent batteries at each location. The spent batteries are then transported to a licensed smelter for recycling. The recycled products are sent back to Johnson Controls battery plants. Raw and recycled materials are manufactured into new batteries which starts the closed-loop process again.
Business need:
Johnson Controls was looking for a supply chain management solution that would allow it to make informed decisions quickly, while optimizing their efficiency at every point of the supply chain lifecycle.
Johnson Controls selected a supply chain management solution built around IBM ILOG LogicNet Plus XE. The solution provided the company with an accurate model of their supply chain that contributed to quick analysis and better decision making.
The capabilities offered by the IBM ILOG LogicNet Plus XE solution allowed Johnson Controls to embed optimization deep into their supply chain, helping to reveal hidden savings opportunities and optimize supply chain efficiency.
Case Study
Johnson Controls Power Solutions delivers batteries to its more than 10,000 customer locations on a regular basis. This world-class delivery operates within a closed-loop battery supply chain. On delivery of batteries to its customers, Johnson Controls picks up spent batteries at each location. The spent batteries are then transported to a licensed smelter for recycling. The recycled products are sent back to Johnson Controls battery plants. Raw and recycled materials are manufactured into new batteries which starts the closed-loop process again.
The complex closed loop supply chain structure can be costly if not executed with world-class practices. The coordination of delivery, pick-up, purchasing and manufacturing of the batteries and materials needs to be well planned with customers and suppliers. This requires Johnson Controls to make optimal decisions with how the supply chain activities are executed:
• Which suppliers and facilities should be used to optimize
transportation costs?
• How much capacity should be contracted with each supplier and
• Which battery plant and distribution center should serve which
Johnson Controls determined the best way to make these decisions effectively was to employ technology that allowed them to optimize every move within the supply chain.
Johnson Controls selected IBM ILOG® LogicNet Plus® XE (LNP XE). LNP XE enabled Johnson Controls to build a model of its supply chain to guide decision making. LNP XE facilitates quick analysis of the tradeoffs between production, warehousing, transportation costs, carbon footprint, and service requirements; as well as the calculation of the optimal network configuration for different cost and service objectives.
Johnson Controls updates the model by collecting data from across the organization. Operations, purchasing and transportation departments continually provide updated costs, rates and capacity to support the model.
LNP XE has become an integral and ongoing part of the supply chain planning at Johnson Controls. LNP XE's ease-of-use, functionality, and ability to model a complex closed-loop network allows Johnson Controls to embed optimization deeper into its supply chain and join the growing list of companies using advanced analytics to drive smarter decisions.

WARNING THEIR IS NO INTELLEGENT LIFE DOWN AT NORMAN'S ELECTRONICS!!! They have rude and dangerous (so called techs) at that place. One (so called man) I had the pleasure of having the sheriff escort off my place when he got nasty mouthed when he damaged my new TV, left exposed wires, put the TV back together with the same part he came to replace, and I ask him why. He broke my storm door on his way out when I told him to leave! I called Brands Mart (where I bought it) They were very helpful in putting me in touch with another repair place (Thank You Brands Mart), with whom I think is very nice people, Eddies Electronics in Marietta, If you need dependable & courteous service! NORMANS I was told is on the way out of business! DO NOT TAK YOUR TRICYCLE THERE!!!WARNING WARNING!!!!!THERE IS NO INTELLIGENT LIFE THERE Mr. A Byess of Woodstock
The technician they sent was rude and misdiagnosed the problem with my Mitsubishi TV. I even had to call the technician back after he left to come back and reattach the cables from my TV to the DVD player, sound system and cable box. I ended up ordering the wrong part which I am still stuck with. After we put it in, the TV still had the same problem. He did not even do the inital step of getting the error code from the front of the TV. My brother came over after the technician gave his diagnosis and after I had paid for the part ,and he said the error code mentioned something wrong that the technician never even mentioned. I'm out over $300, and if I had continued trying to fix the TV, there is no telling how much I would have spent and still not have a working TV. From now on, if a TV goes out, I'm going to serioulsy consider tossing it out for the trash immediately rather than go through the hassle and waiting time for a TV that works.
Some people expect the impossible when it comes to service! Take for example...."Ken M". I have been dealing with Norman's for over 30 years and have never experienced the kind of service "Ken M" describes! Perhaps you are a competitor looking to slander one of the best service companies Atlanta has to offer?
There are so many people who receive customer communications every day at NEI, it would be impossible for your concerns to go un-noticed for the period of time you suggest.
I was a little concerned after reading some of the older reviews of Norman's but found them to be prompt, reliable, and very professional.
Do not use this company! They have had my tv for 2 1/2 months. They lost it for a while. They then lost my mounting brackets. They get angry and rude with the customer. They transfer you to dead phones and then do not answer the phone. I am not sure if I ever will get my belongings back. I am about to turn it over to my legal counsel.
Great Service & Great Price – I had a problem with my TV & many suggested I just trash it & buy a new one. I contacted Norman's Electronics & they were able to fix the TV at a very reasonable price. Lastly they gave me this great service & they came to me to fix the TV.
Good Job – good and honest the guy suggested i try something on my own b4 he took my $.I have a t.v that needs fixing,guess where im bring it? :)
Excellent in home service repair – I was hesitate to call Norman's after reading the reviews as well but I have a contract and was referred to them.
The tech called me the night before and told me the time he was coming which worked into my schedule as well. He arrived at the time we scheduled. He was very thorough, knowledgeable and fixed my tv with no complaints. Thank you Norman's for sending your tech Corey Smith to my house. I recommend you give Norman's a try.
Would recommend them to anyone! – After reading some review others had posted about Normans I was wary of using them but they were close to my house and I knew they had been around for a long time so I called them to repair a lcd tv in my home. They called to schedule and showed when they said they would. The technician knew right away what was wrong with my tv and fixed it the same day!! I would recommend them to anyone that needs some in home repair done. They were friendly, knowledgeable, and professional!

Door to Door Organics is a home, office and co-op delivery service of organic produce and groceries. We deliver year-round, bringing you the freshest organic produce and all-natural groceries directly to your door at competitive prices. We have close relationships with our farmer partners and we work around the clock to ensure that we bring you locally grown produce whenever it is available.
We spend significant time and energy to ensure that we create fruitful relationships with a diverse range of farmers to always bring the best organic product we can find, while also supporting the hard-working people that grow it for us. Our organic produce is USDA certified organic, and so good that we guarantee it.
To sign up for our service, customers pick their desired box size. These range from our Bitty with 4-5 fruit types and 5 vegetable varieties, up to our Large box with 7-8 fruit types and 9-10 vegetable varieties. Boxes are available in all-fruit and all-veggie combinations too.
We set a seasonally-appropriate menu each week that can be customized. Customers receive a reminder email on the Friday before their delivery, letting them know what is in their box. Customers may then substitute items, change box sizes, add items, or put their order on hold any time prior to 8am the day before their delivery. Orders are then delivered to whatever location customers choose on their scheduled day of delivery.
Door to Door Organics knows that supporting local organic farmers and local businesses is good for the planet. Keeping business as local as possible also keeps our economy strong. We support our customers by providing the freshest organic produce available. We offer the convenience of delivery and customization, and your satisfaction is always guaranteed. We care about what you eat because we eat it too! In judging the character of our food we support quality, organic, all natural, fresh, simple, delicious and safe. We advocate for food we love and back all our products with a 100% satisfaction guarantee.
Yes! All of our produce is certified organic by the USDA.
The USDA ensures that organic food has not been processed or grown using synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. It also means the food could not have been produced using genetic engineering, growth hormones, irradiation or antibiotics. Farms growing under the USDA label must maintain strict records of their farm's activities and are subject to regular and surprise inspections.
Farms must have been free of chemicals for three years before being certified, and must undergo many soil tests. Also, crops must be rotated, meaning the same crop is not grown on the same plot of land year after year. Please visit the USDA's National Organic Program website for more information.
We love to support local farmers and deliver locally grown organic produce whenever it's available. We are always looking for new farms to partner with to supply our ever-growing list of customers. If there is a local organic farmer you think we should partner with, please let us know! Our goal is to create partnerships with growers that can supply a wide variety of the highest quality certified organic produce. We focus on local organic produce when possible because it is fresher, requires less fuel to transport and we get to support our neighbors, making it easier for them to support us. During the winter, we bring in wonderful organic items primarily from California, Arizona and Mexico.
In addition to the freshest organic produce, we also carry a growing line of grocery items as well as a selection of organic meat, eggs, cheeses, wild caught fish and fresh baked artisan bread. An expanded product selection to include milk and items is coming soon.
Customers can choose between a weekly and an every other week subscription. However, there is no obligation and customers may cancel or put their account on hold or schedule a vacation hold for a predetermined set of time, at any time.
We set a seasonally appropriate assortment each week that can be customized. Customers receive a reminder email on the Friday before their delivery, letting them know what is in their box. Customers may then substitute items, change box sizes, add items, or put their order on hold.
Absolutely! Our customers are allowed up to five substitutions per order. Don't like collards and would rather have apples? No problem. Customers can also set account preferences to accommodate allergies or items they simply don't want in their boxes. If you never want to see radishes in your box, we'll automatically swap them for something you like any time they're on the menu so you don't have to worry about it!
We deliver to many locations in Colorado. Check here to see if we deliver to your neighborhood.
In many cases, yes. Depending on the area that your box is delivered to you may have up to 5 days of the week to choose from. To check out the available days for your area, log in to your account and head over to 'update profile' on the left hand nav bar. At the bottom of the profile page there'll be a drop down menu to select your days from. We do our best to deliver during business hours but with traffic, weather and numerous other factors we cannot guarantee delivery times.
No problem. When you sign-up, please let us know where to leave your produce if you are not home.
Yes. We can deliver to your work, school, or any address within our delivery range. We cannot deliver to a P.O. Box.
If you have a spare cooler that you can set outside, that is the best place for us to leave your produce. During the winter a cooler will help protect your produce from frost. During the summer, we pack your produce on ice but a cooler will protect your produce from wilting. Tell us if there is a shaded place that you would like us to leave your box.
We believe organic food is better for our health and the health of the planet. Organic produce is grown without the use of harmful pesticides.
Payment is done via credit or debit card. We accept Visa, Master Card, Discover and American Express. Your card is charged the morning after your box has been delivered. But if your purchase exceeds $100, we may bill your credit card the day before your delivery arrives.
We have been around since 2005.
Please refer to our Contact Us page. We'd love to hear from you!
We are located in Lafayette, Colorado.
A co-op is formed when four or more orders are going to one location, such as a home, school or office. Each person still has individual control over their box, such as what size they want and what substitutions they want to make. Each person simply picks up their box at the same location as their co-op buddies -- instead of having it delivered to their home.
Door to Door Organics currently offers two types of co-ops:
Community Co-ops are designed for groups of four or more friends, neighbors or co-workers that want to save money by having their orders delivered to one location. Each box is discounted by $3.00.
Fundraising Co-ops are also available for schools, non-profit organizations and religious institutions. A fundraising co-op functions the same as a Community co-op. However, instead of individual discounts, Door to Door tracks all monthly sales and donates 10% of each box sale to the school or organization. Donation checks are mailed to the school or organization on a monthly basis for as long as the co-op is active.
We want to make organic produce as accessible and affordable as possible, so please contact us for more information about sharing the benefits of organic food co-ops with friends, family and neighbors, or visit our co-op page for more details.
Organic food cooperatives offer people the opportunity to work together as a community to purchase organic foods in quantity, and closer to wholesale prices. In addition, co-ops offer people a place to come together and share in their values of healthy food, a healthy planet and the importance of community. We also want to give back to the schools and non-profits in your community. With a Fundraising co-op, you are giving back to your community every time you receive your order. Visit our co-op page for more details.
Definitely not. Each person can choose from four different box sizes. These boxes can be all fruit, all veggie or a combo of both. Each person can then make up to five substitutions if there is something in the box they do not want, or really do want, that week.
Each person in a co-op has an individual account with Door to Door Organics. This allows each customer to have separate control of their payments, such as with changing credit cards or putting their service on hold when on vacation. Your credit card will be charged after you have received your box.
When you have four or more people that want delicious organic produce, you are ready! You will each sign up here. Follow the steps for creating your account, such as choosing a password and selecting a box size. When you are asked to enter your delivery address, enter your personal address and then notify us or your co-op leader and we attach your account to the co-op. Being attached to a co-op will override your shipping info. The last step -- wait for your fresh, organic produces to arrive. We're not sure if it can get any easier than this!
We are happy to meet with you in person or over the phone to help get a co-op stared with any group you are a part of, whether that be at your office, school, non-profit organization or neighborhood association. We can also provide an informational presentation at your next office gathering, PTA meeting, board meeting or any other gathering -- produce included of course! To get started, contact us.

Grass, trees and non mass transit is what I know and love. As a self admitted shopping addict there is something special about having access to suburban malls. I know every crook and cranny of The Mall at Short Hills and could complete a full fledged shopping spree with my eyes closed.

American Paintings - 8 of 8
Winslow Homer
American, 1836-1910
West Point, Prout's Neck
Oil on canvas
76.4 x 122.2 cm
Acquired by Sterling and Francine Clark, 1941
Attracted to the force and power of the ocean, Homer returned to this motif throughout his career, no more so than in the last fifteen years of his life spent on the rugged coast of Prout's Neck, Maine. In this example he captured the effect of the setting sun as its light radiates from the horizon over the crashing waves and rocky shore. Although painted quickly, the picture was the result of many hours of careful observation of the landscape.

The dining room wasn't supposed to open until 11:30, but the volunteers came in advance to catch the people expected to show up for the free lunch offered to those in need. People started arriving, some walking, some driving, still others were dropped off at the building. Each one was greeted and asked if they would like to complete a survey. Soon all the volunteers were occupied.
"Where did you stay last night?" they asked. "Is that your home? Do you consider yourself as having a stable household?"
In the Anniston and Gadsden areas, Monday was the designated Point in Time Count mandated by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. Local agencies that serve the homeless are required to participate in the count, which is used to determine the number of homeless and their needs. The agencies belong to the Homeless Coalition of Northeast Alabama.
"We need demographic information," said Rita Flegel, executive director of The Right Place, which organized the count in Anniston this year. "We also look at trends and how things are changing because that matters when we try to access services, when we apply for grants and when we speak to the community."
The information gathered in the count is part of the formula that HUD uses to determine grant awards. The agencies are required to work together and the partnership in the homeless count is supposed to promote that collaboration, Flegel said.
Local school systems also collaborate with the agencies, said Becky Cox, homelessness liaison for Calhoun County Schools. The schools keep track of students who are homeless. School officials make accommodations for such students, including allowing them to remain in the schools they attended before they became homeless, Cox said. The accommodations are an effort to provide some stability in the students' lives, Cox said.
The school system has 115 homeless students this year, Cox said, down from 235 last year.
"We had 77 students who were displaced because of those tornadoes," Cox said. "Those students have since found housing."
Different agencies have different measures of who is homeless. Schools abide by the McKinney Vento Homeless Assistance Act, which counts students whose families are doubled up with another family member, or are living in a hotel or a shelter, Cox said. Those standards are different from HUD's, Flegel said. HUD counts as homeless only those people living in places not intended for human habitation, she said. By that definition, there were only five homeless children in Calhoun County in the most recent count, those living in shelters, Cox added.
Several of the volunteers, many of them Jacksonville State University students, said volunteering for the survey challenged their ideas of homelessness. One volunteer thought that substance abuse would be more prevalent among the homeless. Another was surprised by the number of people who were working but were on the verge of homelessness. Another had thought homeless people had done something that caused them to become homeless.
"The larger population tends to forget that they're people," said Phillip Noble, who works at the Health Services Center and a second-year volunteer for the count.
The picture of homelessness that volunteers have in their heads is often quite different from reality, he said.
Steve, 43, who declined to give his last name, said he's been homeless for 10 years. He calls his homelessness "traveling." On Monday, Steve was at Interfaith Ministries of Calhoun County for the group's Open Door program, which provides the use of showers, phones and computers to homeless residents twice a week.
Steve has bipolar disorder and obsessive compulsive disorder, he said. His travels started when his grandmother, who raised him, passed away at 98. A resident of New Orleans, Steve followed a friend to Anniston, he said. He works when he can, but has a hard time keeping a job. It was his boss here in Anniston who eventually helped him get treatment for the disorders and now he receives disability payments at Interfaith Ministries, Steve said.
With his first disability check, Steve bought the van in which he now lives, he said.
"I'm 43 and I ain't never had this opportunity," Steve said. "Now that I have, I'm definitely going to use it wisely."
But talk of renting an apartment or house still worries him, he said. He's worried he wouldn't be able to pay rent and utilities and maintain the home. He's worried the stress will get to him.
"But at the same time, I don't want to be out there when I get old," Steve said. "I would like to get off the street, but I just don't know how."
The information gathered in the count should be available around the first week of March, Flegel said.

Mon. - Fri. 9am - 5pm;Sat. - Sun. CLOSED
Forget csutomer service here – I can't imagine how a Company like this stays in business. I ordered ties (from their clearance section) only to have my order cancelled today...one week after I placed it. When I order from Brooks Brothers I can't believe how quickly their products come in. 2nd day shipping with BB is $ 5.00. So now after waiting a week I find out my order is dust. Any retailer, who cares about customer service, would at least offer some reasonable replacement, etc. Again, I am used to BB. I needed a few things prior to leaving for vacation and the goods were at my desk by end of morning the next day..no extra charege (BB). It was a goodwill gesture on their part as they were trying to help a customer out. These people do not seem to care. I responded to their Internet based cancellation notice and it looks like it might take them a week to respond to that too. Might I suggest that if you are looking for Alden or Crockett and Jones shoes, that you deal directly with their U.S. based brick and mortar stores, they bend over backwards to accomodate you. Service like you receive from Ben Silver will not be a problem in the future as Companies run like this are not destined to continue. Customer service is where it is at, forget that here.
Bob looks funny – Customer Service is poor, and Bob is irritable. I think he looks ridiculous in his glasses. It's worth a trip to the store just to laugh at him 8-)
I wonder how long they can stay in business in this economic climate ... they've got to be burning through cash.

Launch Systems Group
Technical Services Division
Orbital Sciences Corporation (OSC, though commonly referred to as Orbital) is an American company specializing in the manufacturing and launch of satellites. Its Launch Systems Group is heavily involved with missile defense launch systems. Orbital formerly owned ORBIMAGE (now GeoEye) and the Magellan line of GPS receivers, though they have now divested, the latter to Thales. Orbital's NYSE ticker symbol is ORB. It has its headquarters in the Dulles area of unincorporated Loudoun County, Virginia, United States.[2]
Since its inception Orbital Sciences has built 569 launch vehicles with 82 more to be delivered by 2015. 174 satellites have been built by the company since 1982 with 24 more to be delivered by 2015. Orbital has a 40% share of the interceptor market, 55% share of the small communications satellite market, and a 60% share of the small launch vehicles market.[citation needed][clarification needed]
The company is expanding into the medium-size launch vehicles and satellites market with the development of the Antares rocket and the acquisition of the General Dynamics Advanced Information System Satellite division.[3][verification needed][4]

Orbital was founded in 1982 by David Thompson, Bruce Ferguson and Scott Webster.[5] In 1990, the company successfully carried out eight space missions, highlighted by the initial launch of the Pegasus rocket.[6] In 2006 Orbital conducted its 500th mission since the company's founding.
In 1997 it spun off its space imaging division Orbital Space Imaging or ORBIMAGE (with Thompson then as chairman). It is now GeoEye.
On March 4, 2010, Orbital Sciences announced it was acquiring General Dynamics Advanced Information System's Satellite division, which was formerly Spectrum Astro. The purchase price was $55 million and the deal was closed on April 2, 2010.[7] Orbital Sciences stated the deal added nearly $70 million in revenue and slightly improved 2010 earnings, and expects the business to add approximately $100 million in revenue in 2011.[8] Approximately 325 employees of the General Dynamics division and the Gilbert, AZ campus of the General Dynamics division were retained.[9]
In 2010, Orbital made a commercial proposal to NASA to develop a lifting-body spaceplane vehicle, about one-quarter the size of the Space Shuttle, in response to NASA's Commercial Crew Development phase 2 solicitation. The Vertical Takeoff, Horizontal Landing (VTHL) vehicle would be launched on a human-rated (upgraded) Atlas V rocket but would land on a runway.[10] The proposed spaceplane would seat four astronauts.[11] NASA expected to make approximately $200 million of phase 2 awards by March 2011, for technology development projects that could last up to 14 months.[12] Failing to be selected for an CCDev phase 2 award by NASA, Orbital announced in April 2011 that they will likely wind down their efforts to develop a commercial crew vehicle.[13]
On April 21, 2013 Orbital Sciences successfully launched a test flight, putting the company on a path to becoming the second commercial entity to transport cargo to the international space station. The 131-foot Antares rocket made its maiden voyage from a recently completed launch complex on Wallops Island, off the Virginia coast. It carried a dummy payload. The blast-off capped a roughly $1 billion investment.[14]
Business groups[edit]
Space Systems Group (SSG)[edit]
Orbital is a provider of small- to medium-class satellites. Since the company's founding in 1982, Orbital has delivered over 110 spacecraft to commercial, military and civil customers worldwide. To date, these spacecraft have amassed a total of nearly 630 years of on-orbit operations.[15]
Launch Systems Group (LSG)[edit]
Orbital's space launch vehicles primarily focus on boosting small payloads to orbit. The Pegasus rocket is launched from the company's L-1011 carrier aircraft, Stargazer and has proven to be the industry's small space launch workhorse, having conducted 40 missions from six different launch sites worldwide since 1990. The Taurus and Minotaur ground-launched rockets combine Pegasus upper stages with either government-supplied or commercially available first-stage rocket motors to boost larger payloads to orbit. Minotaur IV is the newest addition to Orbital's line of space boosters and combines decommissioned Peacekeeper rocket motors with Orbital avionics and fairings. The Minotaur IV is only available to launch U.S. Government sponsored payloads.[16]
On March 4, 2011 the NASA Glory atmospheric research mission satellite was lost due to a mechanical failure on an Orbital built Taurus XL rocket. This failure follows the earlier loss on February 24, 2009 of the Orbiting Carbon Observatory due to a similar failure on a Taurus XL rocket. The total loss to NASA for these two failures is estimated to be nearly $700 million.[17] Still, NASA has expressed confidence in Orbital as a cargo provider to the International Space Station.[18]
Orbital is also a provider of suborbital launch vehicles for the nation's missile defense systems. In the last 10 years it has conducted nearly 50 launches for the U.S. Missile Defense Agency (MDA), the Air Force, the Army and Navy to develop, test and enhance U.S. missile defense systems.[19]
In November 2010, Orbital was selected by NASA for consideration for potential contract awards for heavy lift launch vehicle system concepts, and propulsion technologies.[20]
Advanced Programs Group (APG)[edit]
Orbital's Advanced Programs Group focuses on developing new technologies for human spaceflight, commercial transportation, aeronautical research and space transportation.[21]
In support of human spaceflight, Orbital is developing a new medium-lift rocket, Antares, and a spacecraft, Cygnus spacecraft, which will provide supplies to occupants of the International Space Station. These programs are being developed under NASA's Commercial Orbital Transportation Services (COTS), for which Orbital was selected as a partner in 2008. The company will provide resupply services to the ISS under NASA's Commercial Resupply Services (CRS) program. Operational flights are scheduled to begin in 2012 from the new Mid-Atlantic Regional Spaceport at Wallops Island in Virginia.
Technical Services Division (TSD)[edit]
Orbital provides engineering, production and technical management personnel primarily for space-related science and defense programs. Typically, it supplies specialized personnel — engineers, scientists, technicians and other professionals — with specific knowledge in the areas that the customer is pursuing. The Orbital employees often work with the customers' technical staff at their facilities.[22]

Yes — the supporting evidence being that around 10:30 Wednesday night, the National Weather Service issued a winter storm warning for the west central, central and northeast counties of Alabama. NWS meteorologist Scott Unger said some parts of the county could see 4 inches; in general, the forecast calls for less.
Starting between noon and 2 p.m. today, through about 6 p.m., according to meteorologists with the Weather Service.
Will it stick?
Perhaps, but not on the roads. If the county receives the 2 inches of snow predicted, there should only be accumulation at grassy or elevated areas, Unger said. If some areas of Calhoun County receive 4 inches of snow, drivers could experience some slush on the roads, he said.
Will it be dangerous to drive?
Probably not. Unger said researchers don't believe the snow will affect road conditions. However, they are concerned about rain freezing over roadways tonight and into Friday morning.
Are schools closing?
Not that we've heard. Administrators with local schools said Wednesday morning that they were monitoring the weather, but weren't planning on changing class schedules.
Will it warm up next week?
Nope. The National Weather Service is predicting temperatures to keep dropping, with highs in the 30s and lows in the teens.

Evening Sun
48 Piece Dinnerware Set
Evening Sun earthenware is a bold design statement that celebrates the vibrant palette of a Southwestern sunset. Rich oranges, fiery reds, sunny yellows and sage green, explode over Pfaltzgraff's signature speckled glaze. If you prefer a mug to a cup and saucer, this set is for you. 48 piece, service for 12 includes twelve each: 12 inch diameter oversized dinner plate, 9 inch diameter salad plate, 5-3/4 inch diameter (24 ounce) soup/cereal bowl and 18 ounce coffee mug. Microwave and dishwasher safe.

Rated 3 out of 5 by Patricia25 I loved the design and style of these dishes. but, I returned the set. The dinner plates were 12", they do not fit in my kitchen cabinets. The coffee mug and cereal bows were also huge. Who needs a 18 oz. coffee mug. I could have lived with the 9 " luncheon plates but, I wanted a complete service for 12 and these look great in my house but they are just over sized. Pfalzcraft was just wonderful about the return. I am so sorry that the size did not work out. If they resize the sets (10.5-11" dinner plates, 10-12 oz coffee mugs) I would reorder them in a minute as I have not found anything I liked as well. I believe theses are the largest dishes in their collections. April 11, 2013

Satisfaction Guaranteed Or You Don't Pay!
Satisfaction Guaranteed
»SiteSubscribe.com backs our work with an industry leading Satisfaction Guarantee!
With SiteSubscribe, if you aren't happy with the work that we do for you, you don't pay…it's that simple!
We've all heard the horror stories of people giving several hundred dollars deposit to a web developer or web designer, and then not getting what they asked for or what they expected. This is obviously very frustrating and costly in regards to both time and money.
Few businesses can afford to those kind of costly mistakes. The way to avoid those kinds of mistakes is to select the right web designer and web hosting company right from the beginning, or at least as soon as possible.
SiteSubscribe is very professional and personable in how we deal with our clients. By gathering and documenting all of our clients requirements we're careful to find out in advance what our clients want their website to look like and how they expect it to function.
If you're unhappy with our services in any way, we'll gladly issue a refund up to your last month's invoice.
Satisfaction Guaranteed. Not happy? You don't pay!
We make sure we gather all of the specifications from our clients, and we communicate with our clients along the way as we build their website so that expectations remain in line with what we are doing. That way there are no surprises, and our customers get what they asked for and what they expect.
See our » Client Testimonials « of how satisfied our customers are with our work, and also how we work.

Do I really need ongoing website Maintenance?
Why Do I Need Ongoing Website Maintenance?
Serving up a website involves many layers of technology that all rely on each other, and rely on current up-to-date versions to work and remain secure. All of these layers of technology are constantly updating to keep up with the latest technologies and security patches. They all play off of each other in such a way that if one updates, eventually the others will also need to update soon in order to keep pace. Older versions eventually become deprecated and over time are no longer supported.
Server Technology
PHP is the programming language that runs on the server that WordPress runs on. The MySQL database (required by WordPress) also runs on PHP. It is mandatory to keep PHP and MySQL up-to-date for WordPress, plugins, themes, etc. to work properly so that your website works properly and remains secure.
WordPress 'Core'
The WordPress 'core' upgrades about 4 times per year. WordPress has to be kept up-to-date (managed from within the Admin Dashboard) so that all of the themes and plugins continue to work as expected (including security updates).
Themes and Plugins
Plugins and themes are updated constantly. Depending on how many plugins you are using it is not uncommon to need to update plugins every couple of days, or at least weekly.
Themes and plugins have to be kept up-to-date to work with each other, to resolve conflicts, for security, and to work with the latest web browsers, code frameworks, and technologies.
Think of it like your desktop operating system, perhaps like Windows Vista that programs run on…same principal. If you didn't keep things up-to-date it would be like trying to run Office 2011 on an old Windows 98 operating system, running on a 7 year old laptop. It just wouldn't work! And if you wait for 3 or 6 months to do your required updates, you are at risk from malware and hackers the entire time you wait.
Don't forget that every time you make a major change or update that there should be a current backup pulled first. This is mission critical stuff.
Who is going to maintain all of that??
- Our Website Maintenance Service offers a hugely important layer that covers keeping WordPress core up-to-date, along with all plugins and most themes.
- Included with all of our Managed WordPress Services we also provide frequent offsite backups as part of our Website Maintenance service.
- In addition, most of our Managed WordPress Service Plans include Technical Support and Security.
- We provide a very necessary layer of management & expertise to keep things running for your website to work properly and minimize security vulnerabilities…saving you many hours and headaches every single month.
- When you host with us with our Managed WordPress Hosting we in turn use a great web host which does some of the heavy lifting by maintaining the server (we have a hand in that as well to keep things running smoothly).
Our Managed WordPress Services are worth every penny to keep your website up and running hassle free!
Multiple Site Discount
Multiple Site Discount = 40% off each additional site.
Need a new website?
Whether you need a whole new website or just some enhancements to your existing website, we can handle it.
All plans require FTP and WordPress Admin access.
