One person was arrested after a bank robbery in Norman on Monday, FBI agents said.
A robber walked into the Bank of the West at 2122 W. Main St. at about 12:33 p.m. Agents said he put his hand in a brown paper bag and pointed it toward a teller, demanding money.
The suspect was not named in a press release issued by the bureau. However, he was described as a white man in his 20s with dark facial hair, wearing a black-hooded sweatshirt blue jeans, a cap and dark glasses.
Norman police observed a person matching the description of the robber driving a gold Dodge Journey near Tecumseh Road and Flood Avenue.
Police pulled him over and found money and the black bag.

Ben Stapelfeld tells it like it is.
He said there is no secret why he will receive the Blair County Chamber of Commerce's 2013 Lifetime Achievement Award for Business Excellence tomorrow at the Business Excellence Dinner at The Casino at Lakemont Park.
"Why I am getting the award is because New Pig has been successful. If not for New Pig, I wouldn't be getting an award. I have played my part and hope I have played my part well," said Stapelfeld, co-founder of New Pig Corp. and chairman of the board.

Stapelfeld, who co-founded the company in 1985 with Donny Beaver, refuses to take the credit for the company, which has grown from about a dozen employees to 530 today, with 350 of those working at the Tipton plant.
"When you look at the elements that made the company I was just a part, I was just a player and a lot of the times just a role player," Stapelfeld said.
Chamber president and CEO Joe Hurd called Stapelfeld a professional and a worthy recipient of the award.
Fact Box
Ben Stapelfeld
Age: 63
Education: 1968 graduate of Hollidaysburg Area Senior High School and 1972 graduate of West Virginia University with bachelor's degree in civil engineering.
Position: Co-founder and chairman of the board of New Pig Corp.
Family: Wife, Catherine; daughter Erin Borzellino and husband, Nick; Ben Stapelfeld and wife, Christina; Clark Stapelfeld and wife, Annie; grandchildren: Ben, Corie and Winston Stapelfeld, Giorgi, Catherine and Emilia Borzellino and James Stapelfeld (deceased).
Quote: "This is the biggest honor of my professional life but I like to keep it in perspective. Business excellence is a team sport. If you go on the basis of one person's performance, I am the wrong guy to be standing up there."
"New Pig is certainly an example of a company that has done everything right in becoming an industry leader. Ben Stapelfeld is the heart and soul of the company's growth and development," Hurd said. "When you think about people who made their mark on the local business community it is guys like Ben Stapelfeld that come to the forefront."
Stapelfeld, born in Altoona and raised in Duncansville, said he was like many other kids and didn't know what he wanted to do.
"I grew up in a construction family, none of them had a college degree, they said I should be an engineer. They were all builders and had great respect for engineers," Stapelfeld said.
After graduating from West Virginia University in 1972 with a degree in civil engineering, Stapelfeld was ready to accept a job at an engineering firm in Atlanta, Ga.
Then his father, B.F. Stapelfeld asked him what they were going to pay him and said he would pay him more to join the family business.
"I told him I didn't want to work for him. He sold me a couple of shares, I bought into the business and became a partner so I was not just working for my dad," Stapelfeld said.
Stapelfeld worked for the family construction business into the mid-1980s.
In the meantime, he also established and operated several successful small businesses in central Pennsylvania and was instrumental in the development of several small industrial and service companies in the area.
In 1983, Stapelfeld and Beaver were looking for a way to make things easier for Sermac Industries, their industrial cleaning business. They knew there had to be a better way than using clay pellets to soak up leaking and dripping oil from machinery.
After numerous trials - and with the help of a research team - they developed a successful product.
In 1985, the Pig absorbent sock - the prototype was a nylon sock about 30 inches long and 3 inches in diameter, filled with ground corncobs - and the New Pig Corp. were born.
"The need was far greater than the demand. An absorbent sock was a new way of doing a job. We thought we had a better way. Most people in the beginning would see the product and say I don't need that," Stapelfeld recalled.
Stapelfeld said that is not the real story of New Pig.
"The story of New Pig is the years of building a real business, building an organization and what it took. The story is the people that came together, entered a business that was anything but sexy selling maintenance supplies to industry," Stapelfeld said. "We entered a market that was totally uninteresting and makes up less than one percent of most companies budgets. We entered that market with one product and sold direct and built the organization to where it is today."
Now, New Pig sells more than 4,400 products; they manufacture more than 1,100 of them. The company has offices in Glasgow, Scotland; Breda, Holland; and Shanghai, China; and besides Tipton, has production facilities in Mobile, Ala., and Mentor, Ohio.
Stapelfeld said he didn't give any thought to how large the company could grow.
"We never really worried or thought much about how big we would become," he said. "We always felt if we took good care of our customers and allowed our employees the freedom to develop and share in the success, growth would take care of itself."
Stapelfeld, who received a United States Chamber of Commerce Award from President Ronald Reagan, said the local award is more significant to him.
"For me, personally, this is without a doubt the highest honor I have ever received.
"Remember this award is for business excellence. Business excellence is a team sport. If business excellence was an individual sport and New Pig was dependent upon Ben Stapelfeld, it would be nowhere near as big and certainly not as successful," Stapelfeld said. "The dedication, commitment, loyalty and talents of dozens upon dozens of people are what make New Pig what it is today."
Stapelfeld said his key to success has been to "surround yourself with people who are smarter than you are and get out of the way."
He said four people have played an important role in his success - including his father.
"My father was my first business teacher. He was a very salt of the earth good man and very basic in his business philosophy. His motto was 'cash, have it; debt, don't have it.' He lived by that mantra," Stapelfeld said. "If he saw my balance sheet he would be spinning in his grave."
He also credits New Pig President and CEO Nino Vella and his friend Mark Barnhart, CEO of NPC Inc.
"[Vella] is without a doubt the smartest and best businessman I have ever been around. Also the hardest worker I have ever met," Stapelfeld said. "Mark Barnhart is the most unique and external thinker I have ever met. He challenges me and makes me a better businessman."
And last but not least he credits his wife Cathy.
"She is innately a very good businesswoman and inspires me. She just gets it and never shies away from a risk," Stapelfeld said.
Stapelfeld has served on numerous boards and supports many charitable organizations. He and his wife recently founded the Giorgio Foundation to support research for Neurofibromatosis.
"We have a grandson that has NF. Cathy and I will raise as much as we can," Stapelfeld said.
Stapelfeld, 63, said he is in the office every day he is in town and continues to travel all over the world for the business. He has no immediate plans to retire but hopes to have more time to spend with his family.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Faith Hill
- 1967
The Very Beginning
Just an infant, Hill is adopted by Ted Perry, a factory worker, and his wife, Edna, a former bank teller in the small town Star, Mississippi. Hill won't meet her birth mother (and biological brother) until 1993, finding them after a three-year search. "The first time I met her I just stared at her," Hill tells PEOPLE in 1999. "I'd never seen anybody that looked anything like me. It was the awe of seeing someone you came from. It fills something."
- late 1980s
Faith's Country Ambition
After a semester of junior college, Hill relocates to Nashville. "I really believed I'd just get on the Grand Ole Opry stage, start singin', and be on a bus travelin' the next day," she tells EW in 1994. She supports herself selling T-shirts, working as a receptionist, and packaging merchandise for Reba McEntire's company. In 1988, the 20-year-old (still Faith Perry at the time), marries music publishing exec Dan Hill, 29. In 1991, she signs a record deal with Warner Bros. before splitting with her husband in 1994. "I was young," she tells PEOPLE in 2000. "I just jumped in the fire way too soon."
- 1994
Out of the Gate
So much for starting slowly. Hill's first single, "Wild One," from her debut album Take Me As I Am, hits No. 1 on the Billboard country chart and stays there the entire month of January, making her the first female country singer to accomplish that feat in 30 years. She also makes PEOPLE's 50 Most Beautiful issue in 1995, 2000 and 2001.
- 1996
Reading is Fundamental
In honor of her father, Hill creates the Faith Hill Family Literacy Project, which creates awareness of illiteracy in America and encourages fans to donate books at her concerts. Pat Perry, Hill's dad, quit school after fourth grade and never learned to read. "When I became an adult, I realized this world that he had never been introduced to," Hill tells PEOPLE in 1999. "I never knew how he got along without knowing how to read. He's a very intelligent man. I guess he recognizes things easily and has a good memory."
Tour Stop
After she falls in love with fellow country star Tim McGraw while opening for his Spontaneous Combustion tour earlier in the year, the pair ties the knot in Rayville, La., near his hometown of Start. The nuptials occur just before Swampfest '96, a celebrity softball tournament hosted by McGraw. "My dressing room was a trailer house," McGraw tells PEOPLE of his proposal, which occurred just before a show in Montana. "I asked her to marry me right there. She said, 'I can't believe you're asking me to marry you in a trailer house,' and I said, 'Well, we're country singers, what do you expect?'" Hill accepted by writing "Yes" on a mirror in his trailer while he was performing onstage.
- 1997
Princess Gracie
Hill welcomes her first child, Gracie Katherine, in Nashville. The couple welcomes their second daughter, Maggie Elizabeth, on Aug. 12, 1998. "We sing all the time," Hill tells PEOPLE in 1999. "We sing the Barney song, all the nursery rhymes you can imagine, country music songs, Rod Stewart. Gracie is into repeating everything right now. You can sing anything to her and the next day she'll be repeating it."
- 1999
Divas Duet
The VH1 Divas Live '99 show at New York's Beacon Theater is a hit, drawing 9.5 million viewers. Hill performs a duet with R&B singer Brandy and joins Chaka Khan, Whitney Houston, Mary J. Blige and LeAnn Rimes onstage for the show's finale – a rendition of Houston's hit "I'm Every Woman."
Crossover Success
With nearly 250,000 albums sold in its first week, Hill's Breathe – her most pop-influenced effort to date – debuts at No. 1 on Billboard's Top 200 Album Chart.
- 2000
Outstanding Replacement
Subbing at the last-minute for a spaced-out Whitney Houston, according to PEOPLE, Hill performs "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" at the Academy Awards. "She pulled it off flawlessly with two rehearsals," says Burt Bacharach, who arranged the show's music. "She's the real thing. She's just totally musical. She ain't bad looking, either." It's her second high profile appearance in two months. On January 30, she performed the national anthem for 88.5 million viewers at Super Bowl XXXIV in Atlanta.
- 2001
Much Ado About a 'Do
Walking onstage to collect her award for favorite female musical performer at the American Music Awards, Hill surprises her fans with her short, shaggy, platinum locks, a drastic change from her usual blonde tresses. Cut earlier in the day by L.A. stylist Peter Savic, the new look seems to trump the three awards she wins that night. "All of a sudden it was like the scarlet letter: Your hair is gone!" she tells PEOPLE. "I'm a reality kind of girl. If that was a career setback, then God help us."

Sweet 16 delivers 'Dogs
Big third quarter helps Martinsburg defeat Washington, stay undefeated
January 5, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Martinsburg held a sweet-16 party Friday night at the Fieldhouse to enable the Bulldogs to stay undefeated....
Hey Rogers you have the deepest bench you have ever had. How about using it sometime. No need for the same 5 to be out there the whole game. It's really no wonder you can't win in Charleston
2 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Apparently, you don't go to Martinsburg's games. Rogers uses his bench, a lot. Too the point where players are getting mad about getting pulled out of the game. Players don't get into any type of flow. He goes 8-9 players deep every game.
0 Agrees | 0 Disagrees | Report Abuse »
Have not missed a dogs game in a while. And against Washington he even admitted to not using his bench right and that he kept his starters in way to long. And yes I have first hand knowledge of him admitting this

I'm watching the D3 championship before heading out to film more of the tailgate show we do each year. Gettysburg leads Cortland 4-2. I was surprised to see Gettysburg make the final after watching them get hammered by Stevenson earlier in the year, but I really like Hank Janczyk, the Gettysburg Coach, so I am glad he's in. I can't root for anyone up here in the press box, but I would root for the Bullets if I did. On the other hand there's a chance for a total run of the table by upstate New York as Syracuse plays Cornell tomorrow and LeMoyne and Cortland have opportunities to win titles today. Remember that Onondaga already won the JUCO title last week. I'm not from upstate but I wouldn't mind seeing them take all the titles again, rewarding the blue collar style of lacrosse they play up there.
I predicted Virginia to crush Cornell, but am so glad the opposite occurred. I really think certain sacrifices were made at Virginia over the last two years in the quest for a title that were errors in my judgment. A well rounded team with lots of experience would perhaps been able to recover against Cornell, but the guys with the skills to make that comeback were on the bench as they have been all year. I have nothing against the Brattons, either of them. But, neither has the abilities to carry a team to a title. That was obvious to me years ago when they played U-19 and should not have made that team. There are much better players, in my opinion, riding pine for UVa so that the twins can learn, on the field, things these other kids have known since 8th and 9th grade. This year, I thought UVa had enough talent all around to win anyway, but obviously not. If the Tewaaraton folks were watching I also think Glading is out of the running, as is Duke's Ned Crotty as far as I am concerned. Enter Cornell's John Glynn, who dominated Virginia even with an elbow injury. He's not a finalist for the Tewaaraton award, but his excellent play may end up helping teammate Max Seibald win the award.
Cornell has a history of playing Syracuse tough so that may just be a great game and may even be a Cornell championship, which would be huge for the game and it's escape from the grasp of the elite teams we see win year in and year out. So while I love the 'Cuse and have since I was a kid, I want Cornell to win.
A few notes from the event in general. Yesterday, we tried to interview a guy leaving the Cornell Virginia game carrying a huge stuffed bear on his back. But when we caught up with him and asked for an interview after the Cornell win, he refused. No wonder. He was wearing Virginia shorts and shirt and had obviously stolen the bear mascot and was making an elusive exit from the stadium. I am sure that some Charlottesville frat house will be the new home of the Cornell bear. Some small consolation for a loyal fan who drove 10-15 hours to see his team choke.
There's a guy for CBS College Sports on the field carrying a 50 pound TV camera on his back as he roams the sideline and runs on the field for close ups after goals and such. He will shoot both the D2 and D3 games with that monstrosity on his back. He is my MVP of the event. He just narrowly beats the excellent and friendly staff at Gillette Stadium. For the second year in a row they have performed exceptionally. One friendly employee really helped us out in navigation the complex parking lot to get from one spot to another amidst hectic traffic. She literally drove out of her way to let us follow her to the spot we needed to find. Thanks!
The press food at the D3 championship game is, for the first time ever, better than the D2 semis. I swear the chicken is garnished with leeks. There's a Tomato and Mozzarella salad. I thought we might wait until San Francisco hosted the games in 2034 to get such fare at a lacrosse game. The pressure is on for Baltimore next year. I am thinking Crab dip and Berger Cookies.
The Patriot Place shopping area was completed in the off-season which makes the whole area a lot more convenient to be stranded for three days. An entire shopping mall and hotel complex now surrounds the stadium and the parking area seems to have doubled.
The only real mess up, from an organizational standpoint happened today, as the Sunday ticket received by all who bought the three day ticket package had the times of today's games as 1:30 and 4:30 while the games really started at 12:00 and 2:30. The crowd has picked up considerably for the D3 game's second half, many missing the first as they took their time getting to the venue because of the late start time they assumed was correct. Imagine sitting in a Denny's eating your egg and bacon skillet while your team is playing without you after 8 hour drive to see the game.
I spoke to John Grant, Jr. and legendary Cornell coach Richie Moran today and they both love the D3 and D2 games. Jr. never goes into the D1 games, preferring the tailgate scene for Saturday and Monday. But he faithfully watches the Sunday games, saying they are just more exciting to watch. Coach Moran and I agreed that it's the flaws that teams have and the exploitation of them that makes for great lacrosse and often at the D1 level, those are far and few between. It's like the difference between college and pro basketball. I am addicted to college hoops and hate the pro game for exactly that reason and a couple others.
Yesterday, we passed an area where what looked like a carry on sized piece of luggage had been abandoned on the main concourse of the stadium. An announcement had been made to find the owner but the security around the bag was thick and dead serious, as it should be in a 50,000 person crowd with today's post-911 sensibilities. So today, there are bomb dogs present at the venue. It feels weird but whatever they have to do for the safety of our community here in Foxboro, is ok with me.
Looks like Cortland is going to beat Gettysburg. It's now 9-6 with 1:08 left and I am off to start today's tailgate show. Talk to you tomorrow!

CANFIELD - Salem opened its 2012-13 campaign in style with an 81-34 victory over South Range that saw four Quakers reach double figures.
"We have a good strong senior class," assistant coach George Spack said, who along with Andy Smyczynski and Jake Zatchok are coaching by committee until head coach Rich Hart returns in a few weeks from a health issue.
"They've been through the wars, and worked hard in the off-season. So this is the year that we expected to play some pretty good basketball."
The Raiders were battling a depleted lineup, with three key players out of action. Their short-handed squad had its work cut out for them against a Salem lineup that boasts 12 seniors.
"They were under-manned," Spack said. "We knew we were going to have more guns than they were. But to South Range's credit, they played hard like we knew they would. But when you're missing some of the key people it makes it real tough."
Without their coach, the Quakers didn't miss a beat.
Fact Box
SALEM SCORING: Ryan Bush 8-4-21, Mike Madison 0-2-2, Zack Wukotich 2-0-4, Brendan Webb 4-0-10, Brooks Bezon 1-3-5, Zach Economous 1-0-2, Max Wolfgang 8-4-20, Eric Madison 0-2-2, Anthony Shivers 5-5-15. TEAM TOTALS: 26, 20-28, 81.
SOUTH RANGE SCORING: Jake Pfeifer 0-0-0, Andrew Cullar 0-0-0, Mason Miller 1-0-2, Jake Arsuffi 1-0-2, Tyler Beverly 2-1-5, Robby Seman 5-0-13, Garrett Anderson 3-3-9, Gary Miller 0-1-1, Dylan Kellerr 0-2-2. TEAM TOTALS: 12, 7-14, 34.
THREE POINTERS: Salem 3 (Webb 2, Bush), South Range 3 (Seman 3).
"All the credit goes to coach Hart," Andy Smyczynski said. "He's had the pieces in place for the last three years. All we had to do was turn on the switch."
Bush opened up the scoring with a 3-pointer from the corner. Bush, a native of South Range's school district, would finish the evening with a game-high 21 points.
The Quakers used Bush's three to springboard an 11-1 run through the first 2:45. That opening spurt saw Salem's big men, Anthony Shivers and Max Wolfgang combine for six of those points. Wolfgang tallied 20 points on the night, and Shivers added 15.
A South Range timeout didn't help, as Salem came right back out with the offense getting a basket from Wolfgang on the Quakers' first possession. Bush followed with a dunk on a break away to push the score to 15-1 before the Raiders finally got another basket.
"We wanted to run them up and down throughout the game and see if they could keep up since they were down some guys," Spack said.
As the second quarter unfolded, the scoring slowed at the onset, but the tempo did not. The Quakers continued their full court pressure, and forced turnovers in an up-and-down style of play. Salem used an 8-3 run over a three minute span to further the advantage.
The Quakers held a double-digit edge through much of the second quarter, but saw Bush go to the bench with his third foul with just under three minutes to play.
With Bush and fellow starter Shivers in foul trouble, Salem didn't blink taking a 15-point lead to the locker room.
"We got off to a great start and foul trouble kind of disrupted the flow we had," Spack said. "But in the third quarter we were able to re-establish ourselves."
The zone that the Raiders were throwing at Salem didn't appear to have an effect on the Quaker offense, as they were able to consistently work the ball inside while getting second and third opportunities each possession.
Salem kept things moving as the third quarter opened up, taking advantage of the first two-plus minutes of the second half and going on a 9-0 run.
The Raiders didn't get their first basket until Mason Miller knocked down a jump shot at the 3:28 mark.
That basket, and another by Tyler Beverly were the only points South Range scored in the third frame as Salem opened up a 38-point lead, 67-29 to head into the fourth.
That's when the starters were sent to the bench to conclude their evening.
"I would say I'm most pleased with the way we came out in the third quarter because they had some momentum," Spack said. "We've tried to focus getting better defensively this year and we limited them to just four points in that third quarter."
Brendan Webb also added 10 points for Salem.
South Range was led by Robbie Seman with 13 points. Garrett Anderson added nine.
With its first game of the season out of the way, Salem is now staring in the face an early season NBC match-up against rival West Branch Friday. The game will be an early season measuring stick to see where each team stands thus far.
"I know they're going to play hard because it's Salem, and I know our guys are going to play hard because it's West Branch," Spack said. "It's one of those typical rivalry games where even though it's early in the season the records don't matter much. I'm sure the gym will be packed so it should be a great early-season atmosphere for basketball."
The Quakers also won the jayvee contest 42-38.
Salem (1-0) travels to West Branch Friday.
South Range (1-1) travels to Jackson-Milton.

Avoid the primer style.
Untrained writers sometimes try to express in simple sentences ideas that could better be put in subordinate, coordinate, or parenthetical constructions. Although occasional simple sentences can be emphatic and effective, too many in succession are reminiscent of Dick and Jane. In order to avoid this transgression, combine simple sentences into longer ones, substitute pronouns for repeated subjects, and use subordination.
1. Ruth did much for Naomi. Ruth was almost like a servant to Naomi. She gathered grain in the fields of Boaz for Naomi's meals. Boaz was a distant relative of Naomi. Ruth, by her actions and personality, impressed Boaz very favorably. He was therefore willing to give a large amount of grain to Naomi.

This month's student spotlight focuses on M. Allison Wolf, a Ph.D. candidate in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program. Allison currently serves as the President of the Graduate Student Organization and has actively been involved in disseminating her research over the past few years. Allison has been active in the GSO throughout her time as a student in the program.
Allison studies the anticancer effects of isothiocyanates—a natural compound extracted from cruciferous vegetables—on head and neck cancer. Her work shows that the compound both inhibits head and neck metastasis and greatly increases sensitivity to chemotherapy in therapy-resistant head and neck cancers. Allison works in the lab of Dr. Pier Paolo Claudio, an associate professor in the Biomedical Sciences Graduate Program and the departments of Biochemistry and Microbiology and Surgery at the university's Joan C. Edwards School of Medicine.
Allison presented this year at Experimental Biology in San Diego.
Congratulations, Allison, for being our Spotlight Student!

MARTINSBURG - Two employees were let go from the Martinsburg consumer protection division of the West Virginia Attorney General's office, according to paperwork filed with the state budget office.
A Field representative and an administrative assistant were terminated "due to office restructuring, effective June 3," according to the files.
Beth Ryan, communications director for the office, said she could not comment on the former employees or the circumstances under which they were let go.
"As a matter of office policy, we don't discuss personnel matters when individuals leave the employment of our office," Ryan said in an email.
Attorney General Patrick Morrisey issued a statement Tuesday via email regarding future plans for the Martinsburg office to which the office "remains strongly committed."
"As a resident of Jefferson County, I understand the importance of having a local office to help keep residents connected to Charleston and vice versa," Morrisey said in the statement.
Morrisey said his office is "revamping" its Martinsburg branch. A second attorney has been hired for the office and there are plans to hold compliance forums for consumers, the statement reads.
"We are also taking steps to integrate the computer system of the Charleston office with our Martinsburg office to ensure that the Eastern Panhandle needs are met immediately," Morrisey said.
The Attorney General's office did not return calls Tuesday evening to address followup questions.
The Martinsburg office of the Attorney General was opened last spring by former Attorney General Darrell McGraw, according to earlier reports.

Patch: Wauwatosa officer nabs pharmacy robber
A Wauwatosa police officer was in the right place at the right time earlier this week.
WISN 12 News' media partners at the Wauwatosa Patch uncovered the story.
According to police reports, a man was robbing the Walgreens on West Capitol Drive and North Mayfair Road on Tuesday.
He used a gun to steal oxycodone and Percocet from the pharmacy, police said.
A police officer happened to be at the intersection when he heard the call. He went into the parking lot and saw the suspect running away.
The officer ran after him and got him down to the ground.
A passenger in the getaway car was also arrested.

text: Home > CGS > Regional Geologic Hazards and Mapping Program > LOSS Page Image Page Content Earthquake loss estimation and planning scenarios quantify seismic risk based on seismic hazard and exposure and vulnerability of the built environment. Such studies need to be frequently updated because of continuing development of the built environment and evolving technology in earthquake ground motion prediction and seismic hazard assessments. California Geological Survey (CGS) has developed and participated in the development of many planning scenarios since 1980. CGS also updates its scenario- and probabilistic-based loss estimations when significant developments occur in ground motion hazard analyses and in built environment. 2010 Analyses Using HAZUS default information for built environment and demographics, CGS studied statewide annualized earthquake losses (AEL) based on standard seismic hazard models developed by CGS and United States Geological Survey (USGS) for the National Seismic Hazard Maps. The annualized loss estimation incorporated the effect of local soil conditions using current ground motion prediction equations. AELs were estimated at three levels of geographic resolution: census tract, county, and Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA). Our calculations show that the lower ground motions predicted by the newer ground motion prediction equations translate directly to substantially lower annual earthquake loss estimations in California (see a brief summary or download CGS Special Report SR 222). 2009 Analyses CGS studied potential losses due to scenario earthquakes. Each scenario includes estimates of damage, casualties and other consequences of the scenario earthquake. In northern California the three most damaging scenario earthquakes involve co-seismic rupture of different combinations of segments of the San Andreas Fault, with estimated economic losses ranging from nearly $70 billion to over $80 billion. In southern California, the most damaging scenario is the M7.1 earthquake on the Puente Hills Fault, with up to 30% building loss in some census tracts and total predicted building loss of $79 billion ($82.8 billion in total economic loss). Similarly to the results for AEL, calculated losses for scenarios are significantly lower when current ground motion prediction equations are used to develop the scenario ground shaking. The 2009 work was supported by California Emergency Management Agency (see a brief summary or download project report or CGS Special Report SR 222). 2005 Analyses CGS estimated scenario earthquake losses in ten counties in the San Francisco Bay Area and in ten counties in Southern California using scenario ground motions of fifty potential earthquakes published by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). CGS also estimated statewide annualized earthquake losses using the 2002 PSHA maps for the State of California, prepared and published by CGS and USGS. These analyses used HAZUS Service Release 2 default information for built environment and demographics. HAZUS is a loss estimation software package developed by the Federal Emergency Management Agency. The 2005 work was supported by CGS.

One of my favorite five bucks worth of tastiness is mee krob, a crispy rice noodle appetizer at Jasmine Thai Restaurant (1330 Niagara Falls Blvd., Tonawanda, 838-3011, jasminethairestaurant.com).
Buffalo's longest-running Thai restaurant can be chaotic at times. Despite that, the kitchen consistently delivers a plate of crunchy, sweet and salty rice noodles tinged with smokiness, fortified with a little sliced chicken and shrimp, and topped with scallion, cilantro and bean sprouts.
Think Thai kettle corn, or Cracker Jack for adults. "It's crispy, and then it melts in your mouth," said owner Virawat "Tim" Thavisin. The price: $4.99.
Thavisin said he got the recipe from his grandmother in Thailand. Rice noodles are puffed in hot oil, then set aside. A sauce of sugar, funky fish sauce and ketchuplike tomato sauce go into the wok and is fired at 250,000 BTUs until it's caramel. Crispy noodles, tossed in the sauce, take on a lovely glaze and "a little bit of burning smell," said Thavisin. "A little touch of that, you have to have it."
That's why it's so hard to make at home, unless you have blowtorches mounted under your wok, and a fantastic exhaust system. Even Thavisin won't cook it in the house.
"I have a wok at home," he said. "I cook outside."

Implants lie on peritoneal surfaces without evidence of infiltration of the underlying tissue, making it possible to draw a line to separate implant tissue from preexistent tissue (Figures 2, 3 and 6). The implants show a prevalence of stroma vs epithelium (Figures 2 and 5). The appearance of the stroma is desmoplastic, fibroblastic or granulation tissue-like, and it is typically associated with inflammatory cells and recent hemorrhage (Figures 1 and 5). The epithelial component appears as irregular glands, papillae or single cells (Figures 1 and 5) and the cytologic features of the epithelial nests are not overtly malignant (Figure 4).

The Nevada County Narrow Gauge Railroad Museum will be decked with decorations for the annual Christmas party Saturday, offering a host of holiday family-fun features.
"The package brings history home in a fun way," said event chairwoman Annette Murphy, who has worked for the museum for about 10 years. The Christmas party itself has been celebrated the past eight years and began as a way to raise the museum's profile.
"It was a way of getting us on the map in order to make the public aware of us," Murphy said.
Among the many fun facts and highlights of the holiday party, the museum has a celebrity steam engine, which was featured in more than 30 movies and television shows in Hollywood, according to museum curator Brian Blair, who has worked for the museum about 10 years.
"Locomotive engine No. 5 was procured by (current restoration manager) John Christianson," Blair said. "An 1875 Baldwin with an original function of hauling lumber that was sold to Universal Studios and brought back to Nevada County in 1985."
The museum also hosts the first car ever built in Nevada County, a steam engine built by Richard Jeffery in 1901. A three-quarter scale replica of the original Chicago Park Depot is also featured in the museum.
"We had a good photograph of it to determine the dimensions of the building," Blair said.
The museum is operated by about 30 volunteers, many of whom helped stage Saturday's annual Christmas celebration. The volunteers who run the museum also operate and work on the train cars in the railyard, according to Blair.
"This railyard and all the equipment was built and maintained by volunteers, most by guys over 60," Blair said. "All rails were hauled in by hand, bent by hand, and the only power tools used were at the end of the track, which was cut off with a power saw."
The gift store is also going to be offering a variety of souvenirs, including books, toys and clothing.
"We have a wide variety of items for kids and adults," said gift store volunteer Arlene Siprelle, who has worked for the museum for six years.
Admission is free and Santa Claus will be on hand Saturday, offering a chance for children to share their Christmas wish lists, as well as an opportunity to enjoy refreshments, door prizes, a silent auction, and photography is allowed.
According to Siprelle, last year's event had more than 1,000 visitors, which is the typical turnout for the celebration. Siprelle said the museum is an ideal place for a rainy day, which is the .
"You can stay inside and celebrate Christmas with the railroad museum," Siprelle said. "It's going to be a lot of fun."

Megan Miller, a Columbian graduate who is in her second season at Heidelberg, called this year's Student Princes a "completely new team."
HU's fast start reflects that.
Kathleen Phillips had 23 points, Miller had 12 points and Heidelberg improved to 3-0 with a 70-54 win over Earlham College at Seiberling Gymnasium.

Field goals: Earlham 23-71 ; Heidelberg 25-73.
3-point goals: Earlham 5-12 (Sneed 3-6, Norman 1-3, Long 1-2, Watt 0-1); Heidelberg 9-28 (Phillips 3-7, Pacholski 3-4, Ricketts 2-4 Giel 1-6, Miller 0-5, Jordan 0-1, Payne 0-1).

Turnovers: Earlham 28; Heidelberg 23.
Assists: Earlham 7; Heidelberg (Ricketts
It's the first time HU has started 3-0 since 2006-07, when Karen McConnell was the team's coach. A season ago, Heidelberg won just four games.
The Student Princes led the Quakers for most of Tuesday night's contest, though Earlham managed to hang around until the final minutes.
A 3-pointer by freshman Erin Pacholski gave the Student Princes a 43-31 lead over the Quakers with 15:43 left in regulation, but Earlham chipped away at its deficit, going on a 15-5 run. A pull-up jumper by the Quakers' Emily Sells made it 48-46 with 9:43 left in regulation.
In the past, a run like this meant trouble for Heidelberg. But this time, HU had an immediate answer.
Paige Ricketts quickly drilled a 3 from the right wing, re-establishing a five-point lead.
Ricketts wasn't happy with how her game started.
"I was a little off this time," Ricketts said. "I was on the bench; I had to get myself back together and focused. I knew if I hit that, it'd get everybody pumped up."
Heidelberg coach Marcie Alberts called a timeout after Ricketts' shot went in.
"I told them, '(Earlham) made a run at you,'" Alberts said. "'This game will be determined by how you answer their run.' We answered it."
The Quakers got within 55-50 after a Natasha Norman layup with 7:30 left. Heidelberg then outscored Earlham 15-4 the rest of the way to clinch the victory.
"I think we were being very aggressive," Miller said. "We didn't let down no matter what the score was."
Phillips scored eight of her points in the final 7 1/2 minutes. Phillips made 10 baskets, including three 3-pointers.
"Once I hit the first 3, I felt pretty confident after that," said Phillips, who also had six rebounds and three steals. "I feel like I got my momentum."
Rickets also played with momentum, contributing eight rebounds, five assists and six steals to go with 10 points. Miller had four rebounds, two blocks and two steals to go along with her scoring.
Heidelberg also received some key bench contributions. Pacholski had 10 points and four boards, while Kyra Dorney tied for the team lead with eight boards.
Bria Sneed led Earlham (1-2) with 19 points and seven rebounds. She was the only Quaker to score in double digits. The Quakers turned the ball over 28 times; HU had 23 miscues.
Heidelberg has a non-conference home game Nov. 29 against Kenyon, before beginning Ohio Athletic Conference play Dec. 5 at Capital.
"We're ready for pretty much anything," Ricketts said. "We can compete with pretty much anyone."

There may be the possibility that you got a CD key for the Windows Live download that was already in use. Another possibility is that you have a previous version of the game installed with an account already created for it and are running that version. A third, I guess, may be that the name you are trying for is already taken.
Also, remember that you can only create one account per original AOE game; the expansions you have installed will be linked to that account.
What error message do you receive exactly?
If you get the cannot create more accounts message, then your cd-key has already been used to create an account, and you will need to purchase a new, unused copy to create another one.

In this episode, Corrina continues the Design Tips miniseries by sharing her insights on how to create tiles and splash screens for Windows Phone applications. She walks through the process of creating an icon in Expression Design and how to make tiles look good and quickly mesh with Metro. Corrina then shows how to create a splash screen and gives some good tips on how to make the splash screen provide a better user experience. Finally, she walks through some tips to help with working with gradients. This video is packed with tips from Corrina, including some great keyboard shortcuts she uses when working with Expression Design. The main topics Corrina covers are:

Oops, something didn't work.
For easy emulator screenshots, use the Windows 7 built-in Snipping Tool in the Window Snip mode and take a perfect 480x800 capture when the emulator is at 100%.
Thanks for the ep, it's great to see the 'Design Tips Series' back.
However just as a note here, the 'non-Microsoft apps' never use the Phone Accent Brush (ie theme color) when they are at the app list. They however do when they are pinned to Startup.
At least that's the behavior I'm having with all the 3rd party apps, I would love to know if it's something I'm missing though...
@kouhbi:That's a bug which has been fixed in Mango.
@DannyM: Nice, good to know.
On a separate note, it's great that you talked about the banding problem which I, personally, used to find annoying. If you've been doing some design, you'll know that there is a few ways to work around it, and like Corina kindly showed it involves overlaying Noise on it so that it removes the uniformity in the bands. However, I would advise Blurring the channels first then add Noise per channel. It tends to generally give better results.
Also, if the gradients look fine on the emulator then you're good to go. I'm referring to a weird issue that affected HTC devices after NoDo update (to be fixed in Mango hopefully), in which the screen colors turn 16-bit instead of the supposed 32-bit. So in these devices, one is very likely to encounter banding in gradients and should probably not worry much about it as long as it renders fine in the Emulator.
Sorry for the long post
Great to see a post covering Expression Design.
The splash screen that you created didn't show up because there were actually 2 projects with the same name (WeatherApplication_Design_End) open in Expression Blend. Maybe you were working with the other one

Football Alum Wenning Schedules Friday Meet & Greet
Ball State football alum Keith Wenning will return to Muncie Friday from 6-7:30 p.m. for a Meet and Greet at the Stoops Automotive showroom.
The Baltimore Ravens draft pick will be available for autographs and photo opportunities, while fans can enter to win raffle items. The event will be at 4055 West Clara Lane in Muncie.
Wenning quarterbacked Ball State to back-to-back bowl games as a junior and senior and set nearly every passing record in the school's history in his career from 2010-13.
He was drafted by the National Football League's Baltimore Ravens this past spring and has participated in the team's mini-camps in preparation for the team's training camp at the end of July.

Recently I heard on the news that the Shrub vetoed a bill to offer 47 billion dollars towards health care for uninsured children across the country. When he duped us into finding W.M.D.'s in Iraq he said he needed 75 billion. Now we're into Iraq with over 500 billion dollars, so far. I've always said what we could do with 500 billion dollars for our health care system. These are our children, born and raised here in America, with no help from the government. In light of passing up the opportunity to help our own with 47 billion it sure is a travesty to pour 500 billion into Iraq.
Speaking of Iraq and the Shrub, Cheney and the Shrub were seen drinking in a little saloon near Gleason. When a man walked in he asked the bartender if that was truly them. The bartender said it sure was and they have been in that corner booth guzzling beers for over an hour. The guy walked up to the two and asked what in the world they were doing in a small dive like this one. They said they were just swigging down a few cold ones and talking about the war. They said they were talking about killing millions of Iraq citizens and a bicycle repair man. The man asked why the bicycle repair man? Cheney leans over and punches the Shrub on the arm and says, "See, nobody cares about the millions of Iraq people.

He will tell you he is only trying to protect your children from guns which kill.
If President Barack Obama really cared about the safety of children, why hasn't he stopped the thousands of abortions that have happened during his presidency, which, whether you like it or not, is murder?
He said he doesn't want his "children to be punished with a baby if they happen to make a mistake."
Imagine that: His grandchildren would be dead without a chance. I guess the poor child doesn't get a choice in his or her own life. Is that pro-choice? Wow, what a leader. He's not worthy to quote from Dr. Martin Luther King.
By the way, do you really think that once you are no longer a worker (contributor) and become a drain on society, that you are going to have a say in your new Obamacare?

Comments about Calista Tools BLOWOUT Brush Set, 1 set:
So I purchased this set on a whim. After playing around with them, I'm just now finally getting the hang of them. Where to place them in my hair took some trial and error but I found the right combination for my hair. Now that I see how to use them for the effect that I want, I look forward to using them because they give me incredible volume that I have never been able to obtain until now. I'm glad I bought them and persevered at using them since I personally didn't find them totally user friendly initially. One mistake I made that I will never make again was thinking that if hair-dryer heat was good, then using a curling iron and then wrapping my hair in the brushes would be great. Dead wrong. My hair must have expanded while cooling because every roller was stuck in my hair. I had to fight every single one of them out. Seriously painful lesson learned.

All the rollers got caught in my hair and my husband had to pull them out with force. I almost had to go get them cut out. It hurt sooo bad. Not to mention now I have frizzy balls on my head. Great. My hair is long, past my shoulders long so that might be why the rollers got stuck. My head is killing me and half my hair is gone. Not using again. Shipping this off to Goodwill.

This is great. It's very easy to use and I am all thumbs when it comes to hair appliances. It's quick and easy. I have short, chin length hair that has a wave to it. I dry it till almost dry then put the rollers in. I can get a lot of hair on one roller. I still have some hair left on the sides and back and I just smooth that out with a round brush. Dry it just for a minute or two while it sets. After 10 minutes or so, take them out. Tons of body, not too curly and it'll last through the next day. Highly recommend!

A man was killed this morning after he was struck by a train near the Clinton Avenue railroad crossing.
According to a release from Tiffin Police Department, CSX reported at 6:13 a.m. an eastbound train had struck a pedestrian in the city limits after crossing the Sandusky River. Officers responded to the area and located the man at the end of Tilden and Railroad streets. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
Tiffin Police Chief Fred Stevens said the man has been identified, but his name is not being released until his family has been notified of his death. Stevens said the 55-year-old man is from Tiffin.
Stevens said the incident remains under investigation, and police are reviewing video surveillance from the train. He said it has not yet been determined whether the incident was an accident.
"We haven't ruled anything yet," he said.
According to the release, the location of the accident was not at a road crossing, and rail traffic was stopped in both directions immediately following the incident while the scene was photographed and processed.

Quilt borders often get overlooked, but instructor Eva Larkin Hawkins knows that they can transform a quilt right before your eyes. Follow along as Eva shows you how fast, easy and fun it can be to select, size and stitch motifs using templates and stencils. Put Eva's cutting, measuring and finishing techniques to use as you size, transfer and stitch any design of your choosing on virtually any project. Using basic mathematical equations and a selection of gorgeous designs, you'll soon discover a new passion for borders.
Meet your instructor, Eva Larkin Hawkins, and get off to a running start as you learn how to select and prepare fabric, and how to audition and pin your borders before quilting.
Learn about various types of templates and stencils, and how each one is made. Working with purchased or homemade materials, you'll learn how to create the designs you want and transfer them seamlessly into symmetrical patterns.
Spacing can make a huge difference in your designs! Eva shares a mathematical formula that can be used to determine the exact number of repeated sequences you'll need for any border length. Practice along with Eva as she demonstrates measuring, marking and repeating various border patterns.
Discover how to transfer and stitch Eva's diamond, heart and dart designs using wax paper, contact paper and other methods. You'll gain professional tips as you go, including stabilization methods and ways to ensure your design looks perfect before you start stitching.
Explore all of your options for creating corners as you practice enlarging and reducing your design, calculating the placement of your patterns and reconciling the differences between the top and bottom border designs.
On to the side borders! In this lesson, you'll learn how to work with curved and straight feather shapes as you practice repeating patterns and making stencils for the side borders of your quilts.
Discover techniques for fitting feather designs into the top and bottom borders as Eva illustrates marking, measuring and transferring techniques. You'll learn how to integrate designs that start in the center or corners, and how to adjust the size accordingly.
Practice stitching the outer borders as Eva helps you navigate curved feathers, straight feathers, corner and center designs and more. You'll finish the class with helpful stitching techniques and inspiration for new projects!
"This class could not have been better timed. I just completed quilting all the blocks in my first non-practice quilt and was so stuck on how to tackle the borders. (Eva) explained the math part in a way I finally understood. Now I can get busy and finish the borders without fear. Thank you so much for teaching this class."

Anne Arundel Community College Awarded $19.7 Million Grant to Develop Career Pathways in STEM Industries
AACC will lead National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Consortium
ARNOLD, MD (September 28, 2011) Maryland Labor Secretary Alexander M. Sanchez was on hand this morning when U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda L. Solis announced that Anne Arundel Community College was awarded a $19.7 million grant to lead the National STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) Consortium. The National STEM Consortium is a collaborative of 10 of the nations top community colleges in nine states.
The work being done by Marylands community colleges is invaluable for providing workers with the skills they need to succeed in the 21st Century economy, said Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown, the OMalley-Brown administrations point person for economic development and higher education. With this grant, Anne Arundel Community College will continue Marylands leadership in education by directing the development of critical STEM programs to prepare our workforce for the highly-skilled jobs that will drive our economic growth.
The Consortium is organized to develop nationally portable, certificate-level programs in STEM that meet market-driven occupational demands. The programs developed through the multi-state partnership will help build a national repository of high-quality technical curricula and curricular materials that can be made available at no cost to every community college in the country.
This is the right investment, at the right time and in the right place. Marylands community colleges are job creators and personal trainers for our skilled workforce. Many of the jobs that well create as we come out of this national economic downturn will require more education and more technical skills than the jobs we lost at the height of the recession, said Secretary Sanchez. This grant will go a long way to prepare workers for those jobs here in Maryland and across the country. I am proud that our partners at Anne Arundel Community College will lead this national coalition.
I commend Anne Arundel Community College President Martha Smith and the entire AACC community for accepting this national responsibility. We must make a firm commitment to STEM if we want to compete in the New Economy, said interim Secretary of the Maryland Higher Education Commission Dr. Danette G. Howard. Marylands community colleges have long been recognized as innovative, national models and are among the most important reasons we are home to the best-educated and most highly-skilled workforce in the United States.
Anne Arundel Community College will lead the Consortium. Other member institutions are:
Marylands Workforce Investment System, a partnership of the states 12 Workforce Investment Areas (WIA) overseen by the state Labor Departments Division of Workforce Development and Adult Learning, serves as the lynchpin for the collaboration with Marylands network of community colleges and has led work to develop demand-driven occupational skills training programs. During FY2010, Maryland community colleges provided occupational skills training for 64 percent of Marylanders who participated in WIA-supported training programs.
The Consortium complements Marylands commitment to expanding the states skilled workforce. As many as half of the jobs created in the new economy will require more training than a high school diploma but less than a four year degree. However, less than 40 percent of Marylanders have the middle skills training necessary to fill many of these jobs. In early 2010, Governor OMalley launched the Skills2Compete Maryland initiative to expand skills training and continuing education to fill middle-skill jobs. The Initiative is led by Lt. Governor Anthony G. Brown and Secretary Sanchez and is administered by the Governors Workforce Investment Board an independent advisory council supported by the states Labor Department. As part of the Skills2Compete initiative, Governor OMalley set an ambitious goal to expand participation in skills training by 20 percent by 2012.
The Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation protects and empowers Marylanders by safeguarding workers, protecting consumers, providing a safety net and cultivating a thriving workforce that can meet the demands of Marylands dynamic economy. Follow DLLR on Twitter (@MD_DLLR) and Facebook.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
As Immunotherapy Revolutionizes the Cancer Treatment...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
LC-MS Gains Favor Due To the...
Autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), Crohn disease (CD), and psoriasis are a major source of morbidity and mortality, affecting substantial numbers of people across age and gender groups. Over 3% of the population suffers from a severe autoimmune disorder, with an impact on health and well-being that ranges from the distressing to disabling to life-threatening.
In addition to the personal impact, these diseases represent a significant public health and societal burden—an individual with CD disease has an 80% lifetime risk of requiring bowel resection surgery, while rheumatoid arthritis produces progressive disability, with many patients unable to work after several years of active disease.
Treatment for these diseases has historically focused first on symptomatic therapy, such as anti-inflammatories, and second on disease-modifying drugs, typically broad-spectrum immunosuppressants, including corticosteroids and folate inhibitors.
This classical approach has two major shortcomings: first, while treating symptoms, the disease would still progress leading to, for example, often irreversible joint damage in RA. Second, the disease-modifying therapies have significant off-target side effects. As a result, in CD patients, therapy frequently needs to be interrupted to avoid serious side effects, leading to a flare up in disease activity, while it is estimated that up to one-half of the pathological effects of lupus disease are attributable to the therapies, as opposed to directly to the disease itself.
Over the last 10 to 12 years, the advent of targeted biologic therapies and, in particular, inhibitors of TNFα, a pro-inflammatory cytokine, have transformed the treatment of many of these diseases. In RA, this class of drugs has shown the ability to arrest and even, in some cases, reverse disease progression, and in CD these drugs have demonstrated both a steroid-sparing quality and the ability to induce mucosal healing.
For such powerful drugs, they are also relatively safe, with the most significant concern being the potential reactivation of latent mycobacterial infection. Five TNF inhibitors are currently marketed, with apparently similar efficacy in RA, although not all have been able to demonstrate efficacy in CD. The first of this class was introduced in 1998 and today this is the most successful category of biologic drugs, with sales in 2009 of over $18 billion, a double-digit percentage increase on 2008.
For all the success of these drugs, they also have significant drawbacks and as a consequence there remain significant unmet medical needs.
The major shortcomings include:
As a consequence of these and other concerns, the current generation of TNF inhibitors are often held in reserve for the most severely ill patients (for example, in Europe and the U.S., under 20% of CD patients with moderate-to-severe disease receive a TNF inhibitor), notwithstanding a growing body of evidence that shows, in both RA and CD, that early use can alter the course of the disease long-term.

FORT WORTH, Texas, Nov. 21, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- American Airlines today announced another milestone in its fleet transformation plans by selecting the Airbus A319 and A321 variants to be a part of its A320 family fleet order, which was announced in July 2011. These new aircraft, which American expects to begin taking delivery of starting in 2013, build upon the airline's efforts to enhance its fleet in order to be more fuel efficient and provide customers with a state-of-the-art travel experience.
The A319 aircraft will be powered by the CFM56-5B engine from CFM International, a joint venture between General Electric and Snecma. The A321 aircraft will be equipped with V2500-A5 engines from International Aero Engines (IAE), a joint venture between Pratt & Whitney, Rolls-Royce, MTU and JAEC. These engines were selected to enhance the operational performance and fuel efficiency of American's new Airbus fleet. The Airbus A320 family aircraft offer a 35 percent reduction in fuel cost per seat versus the MD-80 and a 12 percent and 15 percent fuel cost reduction per seat, respectively, versus the 757 and 767-200.
These 130 current-generation A319 and A321 aircraft are fully financed through lease transactions. The financial terms and conditions of the CFM56-5B and V2500-A5 engine purchase have not been disclosed.
\"We are aggressively moving forward with our plans to have the youngest, most fuel-efficient fleet in the U.S. in the next five years,\" said Tom Horton, President of AMR and American Airlines. \"The A319 and A321 aircraft will strengthen our fleet, helping us dramatically improve our fuel and operating costs, while at the same time, offering our customers the chance to fly in aircraft that are designed to greatly enhance their
travel experience.\"
\"We appreciate the high level of confidence this order shows in the CFM56 product line,\" said CFM President and CEO Jean-Paul Ebanga. \"American is one of our largest CFM56-7B customers and we are pleased to introduce the CFM56-5B into its fleet. We are honored to be given this opportunity to be a part of their long-term fleet strategy and to continue our very successful relationship with American.\"
\"We are excited to be a part of American's fleet transformation,\" said IAE Executive Vice President Jim Guiliano. \"American continues to establish new standards of efficiency and passenger service. We look forward to supporting these engines that provide the lowest fuel burn cost and overall emissions, and lowest noise levels on the A321 aircraft.\"
As announced in July 2011, American plans to take delivery of 130 current-generation aircraft from the Airbus A320 family starting in 2013. American exercised its rights to convert its delivery positions to the A319 and A321 variants.
Beginning in 2017, American expects to begin taking delivery of 130 aircraft from the A320neo (New Engine Option) family featuring next-generation technology. The new aircraft are about 15 percent more fuel efficient than today's models. American is scheduled to be the first network airline in the U.S. to deploy this new technology. Engine selection for the A320neo family aircraft will be made in the future.
The Airbus aircraft feature cabin interiors with increased overhead storage, reduced noise and ambient lighting options.
American is also strengthening its Boeing fleet, with plans to acquire 200 additional aircraft from the 737 family, with options for another 100 737 family aircraft. As part of the Boeing agreement, American plans to take delivery of 100 aircraft from Boeing's current 737NG family starting in 2013, including three 737-800 options that had been exercised as of July 1, 2011. American also expects to acquire 100 of Boeing's next-generation 737 MAX aircraft, which will be powered by CFM International LEAP-1B engines. The new-engine variant is expected to have 10 to 12 percent lower fuel burn than current 737s.
American's most recent deliveries of the 737-800, with 160 seats, include the all-new Boeing Sky Interior, offering larger overhead bins that pivot down and out similar to those on the Boeing 787 Dreamliner, a contemporary feeling of spaciousness, and variable LED lighting options for cabin ambience.
American has plans to acquire 42 state-of-the-art 787 Dreamliners, which are currently scheduled to be delivered starting in late 2014. The Company also has firm orders for 15 777 widebody aircraft, which are scheduled for delivery in 2012 through 2016.
