How HP played a key role in RAF air crew support in Libya
The Ministry of Defence has praised HP over its Advanced Mission Planning Aid system, most recently used to support air crew in Libya.

The Ministry of Defence (MoD) has praised HP over its Advanced Mission Planning Aid (AMPA) system, most recently used to support aircrew in Libya.
How businesses can win talent war with mobile apps, HR data analytics and cloud technology

The AMPA system was originally developed in 1995 to help RAF Harrier crews plan missions, but over the years it has been modified to take on new user requirements.
"The code written by the HP team has a direct impact with the guys in the cockpit," said Tim Olivey, who works as user liaison between the MoD and HP's air command account.
The system, which combines software, desktop and mobile hardware, and a replicated database, is used across the RAF's fixed-wing and helicopter fleet, as well as Army and Royal Navy aircraft. The AMPA system uses the Defence Information Infrastructure to enable users to share missions between terminals.
It overlays 3D imagery and mapping, taken from the Aeronautical Information Documents Unit (AIDU) based at RAF Northolt, to digital air maps.
Air crew access the AMPA system via desktop PCs, laptops and Panasonic Toughbook tablet devices. "We are also working closely with the MoD on how tablets can be used in the future," said Olivey.
As part of the user liaison team, Olivey is in constant contact with users. "Every week I am out with users – feeding back with users and finding out any likely improvements," he said.
The Nato mission in Libya used the 3D capabilities in AMPA to improve pilots' visualisation to prepare them for multiple battlefield scenarios.
"I would like to thank Hewlett-Packard for the tremendous support it provided the UK in the implementation of United Nations Security Council Resolutions 1970 and 1973 to protect Libyan civilians," said Peter Luff, minister for Defence Equipment Support and Technology. "Hewlett-Packard responded very quickly to increased demands for support of the AMPA. Specifically, at very short notice, it established an enhanced technical helpdesk to support deployed operations, and accelerated the release of a capability update required to support Tornado on operations."

My daughter has just begun her career at Aetna in Connecticut. She has a 401K option which they match. Choices are somewhat limited and she needs to choose percentages for investments. Some options are: Aetna common stock, Russell Small Cap index, S&P index, some target retirement funds where they choose, Emerging market, Mid Cap....
I was thinking 20% Aetna, 40% Russell small cap , 40% S&P 500..... any opinions??
Cabets, not sure if it's too late to give you some advice about your daughter's investments.
Before I could make any suggestions, I'd need to know more about here, so here's a few questions:
1) What is her bra size?
2) Does she swallow?
3) Does she like Greek?
So, get back to me with that info & then we can progress with this young lady.
Here it is from the horse's mouth (the IRS):
"Q-4: Is providing a distributee with a check for delivery to an eligible retirement plan a reasonable means of accomplishing a direct rollover?
A-4: Providing the distributee with a check and instructing the distributee to deliver the check to the eligible retirement plan is a reasonable means of direct payment, provided that the check is made payable as follows: [Name of the trustee] as trustee of [name of the eligible retirement
Thanks for giving me a chance to get educated on this, I think I will need it some time in the future.
One of the things I read as I was googling this last night was that agent-to-agent transfers are done directly only when you go from IRA to IRA. When you go from 401K to IRA, for some reason (always or mostly, I'm not sure which) the originating agent sends the check to the individual -- it's a "direct rollover", not an agent-to-agent transfer.
In any case, did you read the IRS regulations about the 60 day rule? None of these are taxable if done according to the rules. And Doc, too, said he has done this. BTW what did you think of that parrot joke?
Yeah Al, you are only penalized if you withdraw any funds, the rest remains tax deferred. There is a time window, if you don't cash the check technically the money is still in the previous fund until you deposit it into the other account, hence the term "rolled over". I'm sensing that this is a big tease to see how long we will continue this thread. Good one Al, ala "Who's On First". "I don't know." "Second base." LOL, I'm done.
You have no clue what you are talking about.
I know what I did, what occured, all done without penalty.
Since my buddy's fund was being dissolved, he and his fellow members were not required to roll it over into the newly merged local union's fund. The former fund members were given a few choices, some being: Take the cash and pay the taxes, roll over into the newly formed local union's newly formed fund, find their own ira/401k fund. He's quite on the ball. He was informed by both his union execs and his personal accountant that he had a time frame(90 days?) in which to roll it over and maintain a tax deferred status, as long as the check was not cashed.

When my wife filled out the forms to have the 401K transferred to her IRA she supplied the 401K agent with the IRA agent, Fidelity, with the address and account number. We fully expected for the funds to be transferred, but instead the check was sent to my wife. Fidelity said that was normal for them to do that.
I really don't think you know of what you speak.
The link you provided is a general summary and is not the full law of the IRS. That law is contained in IRS regs and documented in IRS Publication 575 (which contains several "gotchas" not stated in the general summary link).
Same comment; name and address, please.
What is his/her name and address; I'd like to send it along to the IRS for a finders fee?

Two tones
There are significant differences in the quality of the editorials presented in the Sun-Gazette. And that difference is directly tied to the topics addressed in the editorials.
For example, the editorials that focus on local issues are thoughtful and "set the table" for an intelligent discussion of the issue at hand. A recent editorial entitled, "Codes proposal for war on heroin worth considering" (Sept. 22) is an excellent example of such fine thinking and writing.
But, when the editorials focus on national issues, they are simplistic diatribes that reveal anger and little else. "If climate change causes severe weather, explain this year" (Sept. 21) is a good example of such editorials.

Crescent Bodyrest System Knee Support
Crescent Products, manufacturer of the Crescent Bodyrest System, introduces a new Knee Support pad. Now with a longer, smoother upward slope, the Knee Support allows the patient's legs to rest in a more natural position to relieve pressure on the lower back and hips. The new Knee Support also improves stability and alignment of the patient in the dental chair.
The Knee Support is designed to be used with the full Crescent Bodyrest System, a 4-pad system consisting of the trademarked Crescent Bodyrest Headrest, Backrest, Knee Support, and Chair Pad. All 4 pads work together to align patients for their maximum comfort as well as create perfect ergonomic positioning of the patient to reduce strain for dentists and hygienists'ideal for cosmetic and sedation dentistry.
In addition to the Knee Support, the Headrest supports the patient's neck and allows the head to tilt backwards and for the jaw to naturally turn up in an open-forward position. The Backrest supports the patient's lumbar region and fills the natural gap formed between the patient's back and the chair. The Chair Pad cushions and conforms to the patient's entire body, relieving pressure points and relaxing the patient.
All of the Crescent Bodyrest pads are available in black, gray, beige, and teal.
Blast from the Past - Don't Take That Dental Chair for Granted!
Imagine your patient sitting on the floor during a tooth extraction while you hold their head firmly between your knees. That's what they did before the 17 th century, according to the University of the Pacific's Virtual Dental Museum . Luckily, improvements in the comfort and versatility of the dental chair have been made over the last 300 years, vastly improving the experience for both the patient and the dentist. From the University of the Pacific's Virtual Dental Museum , here's a brief history of how the dental patient chair transformed into what it is...Read More

12:30 am
i think it's great that we're getting this money for these purposes, trails and for the recreation programs that are mobile. i have seen the programs and they are really great. this is from coca-cola and i think it's great that coca-cola is providing us these funds and making sure that we're reducing obesity in san francisco. is there any kind of advertising that we do for coca-cola? >> >> these grants do not require any advertising at all. >> >> thank you. thank you miss branson. any members of public wishing to comment? you can line up on the far wall behind mr. paulson.
12:31 am
>> does any trail last forever? i don't know. maybe we're near the budget end, i don't know. does any gift last forever? i don't know. maybe we're going to have the end, but money's hard to hold. we're going to have it maybe and bring it on, and they will be singing songs on the trails and it's the real thing with this item gifted today. it's coke and budget. >> thank you, next speaker, please.
12:32 am
>> good morning, thank you. i'm robert bakewell an enrichment resident who lives right next to this area of the oak woodlands and we have been working on this area for a long time and i'm also co-founder of the friends of the oak woodlands park, which is a park partner sponsored by park s alliance. we support the resolution for the acceptance of these funds and the community of support from east golden gate park neighbors are stewardship volunteers and park partnership group collaborating in the revitalization of the park. two events organized by parks alliance and recreation and park department generated over 300 days of labor in contribution for the initial phases of this oak woodlands
12:33 am
multi-use nature trail. it was very successful and eric was at one of these events. thank you, eric. this is a mile-long trail, extending from mcclaren lodge, linking san francisco's indigenous oak groves to 6th and fulton. we're thankful for this funding source that will help to complete this outdoor, valuable recreational asset. thank you. >> thank you very much, any other members of the public wishing to comment on this item? seeing none, public comment is closed. [ gavel ] supervisor mars. >> i live across the street as well and i know this grant will go ang long way in making sure there is active sports, but also the trails project that many neighbors have been working on will be carried
12:34 am
forward as well. it's one of the most beautiful areas in the city and we hope people come out to that natural areas program, the oak woodlands between stanyan and 6-7th avenue along fulton in the city. i wanted to say that the active sports effort by the recreation and park department is incredible and to have a mobile unit, rock climbing, which i love as well and peter from my staff is a big rock climber as well, but to have youth have more access is wonderful. and kayaking and other things, too. like supervisor avalos, i share the concerns about the source of the funding, but it makes up for a little bit of the obesity-causing problems by the company that is sponsoring this. at least it's making up for allowing some of our youth to have active lifetimes and for our rec and park department to have much more support. so i'm supportive of this accept and expend and thank you to supervisor farrell for sponsoring it.
12:35 am
>> thank you, supervisor mar and thank the rec and park department and park alliance and coca-cola. i think it's a great example of fill an philanthropy. is we'll send forward to the board without opposition. >> mr. clerk could you call item no. 3? >> item no. 3, ordinance amending the san francisco administrative code by adding section 16.702 and 16.29-7.6 to mandate payment to the city employees to offset federal income taxation on health insurance premiums for their same-sex spouses or same-sex domestic partners and to exclude such payments from the computation of compensation under the san francisco
12:36 am
employees' retirement system. colleagues this legislation mandates payment to city employees to offset federal income taxation on health insurance premiums for their same-sex spouse and same-sex domestic partners and supports our lgbt. currently the way it stands the city employees will same-sex spouses or domestic partners elect to add their spouse or domestic partner to their health plan and in additional federal tax is taken out of think paycheck. the federal government views these to be taxable income. therefore city employees and others with same-sex spouses or domestic partners are taxed more than other city employees simply because their spouses are the same gender. this discame nation has caused
12:37 am
same-sex spouses and domestic partners thousands and thousands of dollars each year and the city and county active members is approximately 386 as of the end of last year. san francisco always has been uni hope always will be a leader in supporting our lgbt community. following the example of other municipalities such as cambridge, massachusetts and google and could i hope we will do the same. this legislation will ensure same-sex domestic partners who work for the city and county of san francisco will not be burdened with these taxes. ultimately this is an issue of equality. the additional taxs is one of the many results of defense of act act or doma. married lgbt committees are already denied many rights and
12:38 am
this additional tax adds another sting to the injustice of doma. this brings great hope the u.s. supreme court will hear the california proposition perry case and various doma cases later this year. however, as a legislative body here in san francisco, i don't believe we can or should standstill and wait to see what the u.s. supreme court does while this discrimination continues. i look forward to working with everyone to get this passed. i am proud that this legislation is supporting and cosponsored by supervisors wiener, campos and chu, as well as the lgbt democrat democratic club and lgbt. we have prided ourselves of being ahead of curve and the props of a better tomorrow. as a city we should not stand
12:39 am
idle as contributing members of society -- with hope and uncertainty certainty that the u.s. supreme court will find doma cases unreasonable. colleagues i hope i can for your support. we have a number of speakers to speak. >> good morning, controller's office. this legislation if passed by the board of supervisors and signed by the mayor would take effect next fiscal year and the department or the city's payroll division would administer the benefits through a one-time annual payment based on actual information we would receive from the health service system. as to the number and the name
12:40 am
of the individual employee that has same-sex or domestic partner insurance as a co-dependent and then we would calculate the amount in accordance to the proposed legislation, which would be 20% of the premium that is associated with that dependent. and and if as supervisor farrell said the doma is overturned and/or same-sex marriage becomes legal on a national basis we do expect that the federal irs requirements would be similar to that of the state and there would be no financial penalty and therefore, this would be moot at this point. be we would be prepared to make the payment at the end of the calendar year. so it would be for six months at first payment and if need be, then it would be for full-year in subsequent
12:41 am
calendar year 2014. >> thank you of >> thank you >> department of human resources i want to confirm we conducted the required meet and confer process with our unions. about five of our unions and the largest were the machinists and local 21 and after asking some questions and some of them actually weren't aware of the discriminatory practices of the federal tax code, but after some good discussion they indicated their complete support. so the meet and confer process was concluded. >> thank you. any questions? thank you very much. i hope that every meet and confer in future is that easy. >> me, too.
12:42 am
>> i bet. and with that, we have the budget and legislative analyst's report. >> mr. chair, members of the committee, on page 4 of our report, we point out that the health services system estimated that 186 employees would be affected by this proposed ordinance. wherein most employees receive a payment between $1400 and $1500 that depends on their medical and dental insurance polices. and the total estimated cost to the city is $660,492 including payments to employees of 57 5 682 and employer fica and medicare contributions. it is our understanding that there would be no additional administrative costs for administering this ordinance. we consider, because this proposed ordinance may result
12:43 am
in new ongoing costs of the city as an estimated $660,492 per year, we consider approval of this ordinance to be a policy matter for the board. >> thank you. any other questions for our budget legislative analyst? catherine, i don't know if there is anything that you want to talk about? i want to thank you for working on this legislation. if there was anything else you wanted to add? okay. so with that, [ inaudible ] >> mr. chairman, the financial impact of this legislation, if approved by the board of supervisors, signed by the mayor would need to be added to the budget next fiscal year. that would be done through the mayor's budget. and it would probably be budgeted in "general responsibility." and as we were prepared to disperse those dollars we would allocate those
12:44 am
dollars to the appropriate departments that have the employees that were eligible for the benefit. >> thank you very much. colleagues, any other questions of staff? okay. seeing none, i would like to open up item no. 3 for public comment. if there are any members of the public who wish to comment on item no 3, please come up and line up on the wall. mr. griffin? >> i'm on my break. chairman farrell, members of the committee, thank you for the opportunity to speak before you today on item no. 36789 my name is larry griffin the vice president offpt local 21 and we would like to thank supervisor farrell for bringing this forward and supervisors campos, chiu and avalos. by
12:45 am
compensating affected employees to offset their tax, we're sending a message that san francisco is committed to equal pay for equal work. we know the day is coming when all couples and families will be treated the same. meanwhile we're pleased to see you taking this step forward. local 21 respectfully ask that the committee vote yes. thank you. >> thank you very much. next speaker, please. >> supervisors, good morning. my name is martha knudsen the co-chair of the lgbt democratic chair and joined by my profess co-chair and fell board member neilson. i want to thank supervisor farrell for authoring this legislation and voice support of the legislation on behalf of the entire board of the alice
12:46 am
b. tokelis lgbt club. this is an important legislation until the federal government recognizes same-sex couples and marriage equality. on a personal note as a city employee whose same-sex spouse was covered by my health benefits for the past nine years, i paid this for nine years. what that meant is my income was reported as -- my income a little bit over $300 every pay period was increased and it's not reported as null income and social security. or medicare or for the retirement board. so it's not

[ gavel ] >> good morning mr. chair and good morning committee members >> one sec, i would like to welcome everyone back to our february 6th, budget and finance meeting. and i want to recognize our district attorney, thank you for being here. >> supervisor, if i might make some opening comments? >> sure, president chiu. thank you, mr. chair and i want to thank members of public who have come out for this item. we have in front of us a supplemental appropriation for domestic violence services and for additional law enforcement staffing that i had proposed in december. i want to [tha-fpg/] a moment
12:54 am
and thank our district attorney, mayor lee and all of who were with the board who have co-sponsored this measure. as think many of you know the late 2011 comprehensive report on family violence in san francisco shows that reports of domestic violence in san francisco has risen sharply in last few years. what the data shows is that the demand for city departments and non-profits for domestic violence assistance has increased steadily while funding for such services has stayed flat or decreased. for example, and the one-year period documented in the report we saw the increase in calls to domestic violence hotlines and 29% in more beds needed at domestic violence shelters. 202% in the number of child support cases involving family violence and i know the district attorney will highlight that. over the past two years the
12:55 am
district attorney's caseload as spiked 88% and related to that the number of trials at the district attorney offense has spiked by 350%. the supplemental that have i proposed is a $750,000 number. it involves four components with a significant focus on domestic violence victims. it includes additional staffing for the district attorney's office with additional prosecutors, victim advocates and providers particularly legal services for domestic violence to assist with restraining orders, child custody and immigration cases. funding for a domestic violence awareness campaign, which is kicking off this month. related to the 1 billion rally we have coming up next week and restoration of a previously eliminated domestic violence policy analyst position, who had been the only city staff position focused on domestic violence. and the one last comment i want to say, obviously in 2012, we had a significant public
12:56 am
discourse on domestic violence, but i would state despite the recent controversy everybody agrees we need to do more to increase our safety net, everyone from our mayor and district attorney to our sheriff and all you have our colleagues believe that we need to do more. so that being said, hopefully this will take that a step forward and again, i want to thank everyone for participating in this and introduce our district attorney and i believe you have a presentation. >> thank you, so much, mr. president, for your leadership in this area. i am introducing this, as well as thank you to all of you who supported this and co-sponsored. good morning mr. chair and members of committee and good morning to everyone else. before i start my presentation. we're going to play for you a quick audio and it is an audio of a real 911 call in a domestic violence case and we purposely did not use one of our own because we did not want
12:57 am
the compromise the integrity of any cases that we have handled, but this particular [#1*-/] call is a real one and one that is being used for training and i think it begins to illustrate the point i will make through this presentation: >> 911 emergency. >> my mom and dad -- stop it! mommy! stop it. don't hit the baby! don't hit the baby! stop it! can you send the police, please? >> we'll be there in a minute. >> >> the reason why we started with this audio because i want
12:58 am
to make sure that everyone in this room understands that often when we're talking about when we're talking about domestic violence is life-and-death. there are women that are being injured severely and occasionally women are dying. we're very fortunate that last year we did not have for the first anytime a decade we did not have a domestic violence homicide in the city. however, i would like to point out while that is a cause for celebration, i want to make sure that we understand the full context of this and quite frankly the difference between aggravated assault and homoe homicides. when we're talking about dominguez hills it's important to recognize that everything that we say and do carries a message and that that message often has severe impacts in our community. i can tell you for instance recently we had a case involving an individual by the name of oliver, who decided
12:59 am
during a domestic dispute, he was going to kill his girlfriended by setting her on fire. fortunately in this incident, fire services were there quicklily and our victim will fully recover, but shortly after this incident was publicized we got a couple of cases in our office where victims are complaining that they have been threatened by the offend with doing similar things and setting them on fire. i would also like to say that we're going to talk about some of the highlights of our request here, but i want to make sure that everybody understands when we made this request, we dakota a very close look at our needs. we're not in the buying and selling used car business. i do not believe that i should make a request hoping to get something less than what i asked for. we made a realistic request. we asked for four attorneys, the budget

Lenin spoke at the Second Congress of 1920 to multiple audiences. In continuity with the First International, he spoke in the utopian language of Bolshevism, of the successful revolutionary proletariat that had taken the state and was making its place in history without the intercession of bourgeois class rule. Recognizing the limits of socialism in one country surrounded by the military and economic might of "World imperialism," however, Lenin also pressed for a broader, ongoing world-historic anti-imperialism in alliance with the oppressed of the East, who, it seemed, were neither sufficiently proletarianized, nor, as yet, subjects of history. There are many ways to situate this particular moment in Lenin's thought. One can see the budding conceits of Marxist social history, or "history from below," in which millions in the East could become historical subjects under the sign of "anti-imperialism." One can also see this gesture to those outside the pale as a flourish of the emergent Soviet empire, and as a projection of anxieties about Bolshevik control over a vast and varied Russian countryside with its own internal enemies. But Lenin also spoke to audiences who would make up the next, Third International, like the Indian Marxist M. N. Roy, who saw imperialism dividing the world into oppressed and oppressor nations. For this Third Worldist audience, looking increasingly to the new Soviet Union for material and military support for "national self-determination," Lenin extends the historic mission of a future world socialism.

After a recent board approval for a 5.8% increase in the quarterly dividends to 73 cents per share, ConocoPhillips (NYSE:COP) has been currently trading at a dividend yield of 3.22%. In addition to the increased dividends the company's stock price also increased to 85.84 from less than 70 cents per share in December, reflecting an increase of approximately 23%. The fact that the company is trying to deliver value to shareholders is appreciated by investors. It has been delivering returns to shareholders by regularly increasing dividends. However, whether ConocoPhillips will be able to sustain its standards of returning value to shareholders is a concern that needs to be addressed. Let's discuss what the future holds for ConocoPhillips.
Ample Production Growth
The company's future growth is usually measured by its ability to generate cash. In the case of ConocoPhillips the future growth in cash flows is expected to be driven from the lower 48 region as the company is aggressively ramping up the development of its onshore assets. The company particularly focuses on areas with higher liquids production. Going forward, with the continued efforts to develop the existing and emerging assets, the company is expected to boost not only the average daily production of hydrocarbons but also its operating margins in the long run. The company is targeting an overall production growth of 3 - 5 percent per annum.
Source: Investor Presentation
The company plans to invest approximately $3 billion annually in one of its most lucrative assets, the Eagle Ford Shale. It is worth mentioning here that Eagle Ford is being considered the largest tight oil play as per EIA estimates. The capital expenditure is directed toward developing acreage in the shale which will increase production to approximately 250,000 BOE per day by the end of 2017.
Similarly, to develop acreage in the Bakken shale play, ConocoPhillips is expected to spend nearly $1 billion. Going forward, the company expects to increase the production rate from around 33,000 BOE per day in 2013 to over 68,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2017, creating more than 100 percent production growth.
Lower Operating Costs to Expand Margins
While the company is poised to deliver production growth it is also making deliberate efforts to cut costs. The increased use of multi-pad well drilling has created drilling and completion cost efficiency improvements in the Eagle Ford Shale. Going forward, the company is determined to use the multi-pad well drilling technique in 75% of the wells drilled in the Eagle Ford Shale, which will result in further reductions in the average cost per well.
Similarly, in the Bakken Shale the company managed to reduce drilling days by 30 percent and reduce completion cost per unit by 50 percent. The company is all set to drill 90% of 2014 wells by using multi-pad well drilling and I believe that it will further lower the average well cost.
Investment Thesis
During 2012 and 2013, ConocoPhillips divested nearly $12.4 billion of non-core assets, achieved a reserve replacement ratio of approximately 167 percent, and recently increased dividends by 5.8%. The company is on track to deliver stronger production growth. ConocoPhillips enjoys one of the best asset bases in the sector and the recent developments will result in considerable growth for the company. The acreage position in all three of the fastest growing liquid shale plays signifies that the company will produce more than many of its peers. Moreover, the company has been efficiently using its resources and the planned capital expenditure will further strengthen its position.
The management is determined to secure double digit annual returns for investors in the next few years. The stronger growth prospects coupled with a leading position in some of the best oil plays means that the company will be able to achieve its target. In addition to production growth, ConocoPhillips is all set to deliver margin expansion driven by lower operating expenditures.
Currently, the company has been trading at an earnings multiple of 13.19. Given the company's growth plans it seems that the stock is undervalued. Despite the fact that the stock is trading at higher levels I do not believe the company's upside potential has been exhausted and there is ample room to improve.

right now things aren't gooddoes anyone believe such a story? couldn't any company say this. does saying it make it so. how could a dumb analyst last month say buy the stock because although same store sales were down 14% things would get better because they have a new ad campaign and better weather? and now another dumb analyst comes along to say sell the stock. the stock went up 20% in one week. unbelievable. i recall when the stock went down 20% in one week also. It could do so again.
buyers sure did come and scoop this one up when it dropped down close to $10 yesterday; I think SONC is too expensive even at $10. I don't know what buyers see in this stock right now? I guess it's the hope of things getting better, even if it does take a year or two. In a year, this stock will still be at $11 while other stocks out there will probably double or triple. GLTA!

FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Weariness and anxiety percolated Tuesday among people who left their homes near Japan's radiation-shedding nuclear complex as workers tried urgently to cool an overheated storage pool and methodically to reconnect critical cooling systems.
In another day of progress and setbacks, a pool holding spent nuclear fuel heated up to around the boiling point, a nuclear safety official said. With water bubbling away, there is a risk that more radioactive steam could spew out. "We cannot leave this alone and we must take care of it as quickly as possible," said the official, Hidehiko Nishiyama.
FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Officials raced Monday to restore electricity to Japan's leaking nuclear plant, but getting the power flowing will hardly be the end of their battle: With its mangled machinery and partly melted reactor cores, bringing the complex under control is a monstrous job.
Restoring the power to all six units at the tsunami-damaged complex is key, because it will, in theory, power up the maze of motors, valves and switches that help deliver cooling water to the overheated reactor cores and spent fuel pools that are leaking radiation.
ST. PAUL, Minn. (AP) — Tim Pawlenty, the former Minnesota governor struggling for name recognition against better-known Republicans eying the presidency, told supporters on Monday that he will take the first formal step toward seeking the nomination, The Associated Press has learned.
TRIPOLI, Libya (AP) — A cruise missile blasted Moammar Gadhafi's residential compound in an attack that carried as much symbolism as military effect, and fighter jets destroyed a line of tanks moving on the rebel capital. The U.S. said the international assault would hit any government forces attacking the opposition.
FUKUSHIMA, Japan (AP) — Gray smoke rose from two reactor units Monday, temporarily stalling critical work to reconnect power lines and restore cooling systems to stabilize Japan's radiation-leaking nuclear complex.
Workers are racing to bring the nuclear plant under control, but the process is proceeding in fits and starts, stalled by incidents like the smoke and by the need to work methodically to make sure wiring, pumps and other machinery can be safely switched on.
LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) — Plans by the city-county animal shelter in Las Cruces to euthanize about 50 puppies will be re-evaluated after a weekend rush of adoptions.
Kennel supervisor Paul Richardson says the number of expected euthanizations is way down because people came to the Animal Services Center of the Mesilla Valley after hearing about the plans.
Richardson says 17 puppies were adopted Saturday and the shelter was on track to do about the same on Sunday. That's way above normal.
The Los Alamos Airport will soon undergo some changes and updates. The existing runway will be rehabilitated and extended eastward by 450 feet.
A new visual approach system, which will involve electrical work at the airport, will also be installed.
The runway is expected to close May 31 for three weeks for the repaving to occur, followed by a closure for seven days in July for grooving and striping.
The possible return of scheduled air service to the airport will be discussed at 7 p.m. Tuesday at White Rock Fire Station 3.
