VA and Defense Dept. Electronic Medical Records Can't Talk to Each Other: $29 Billion Fix Already Abandoned
By John R. Graham • Thursday March 6, 2014 9:02 AM PDT •
A recent survey noted that despite almost $27 billion dollars of federal money spent on implementing electronic health records (EHRs) in the private sector, 70 percent of physicians believe that the adoption of EHRs has not been worth it.
We should not be surprised: The government cannot manage to get EHRs in two of its own closely related departments, Veterans Affairs (VA) and the Department of Defense (DoD), to talk to each other.
According to a new Government Accountability Office (GAO) report, DoD spent $2 billion between 1997 and 2010 on health IT, which now "comprises multiple legacy medical information systems." The VA has a health IT system that consists of 104 separate computer applications, including:
- 56 health provider apps,
- 19 management and financial apps,
- 8 registration, enrollment, and eligibility apps,
- 5 health data apps,
- 3 information and education apps,
- All of which are customized at all 128 VA sites.
The VA spent almost $600 million between 2001 and 2007 to modernize its health IT systems and estimated a cost of $11 billion to modernize them by 2018. However, the VA abandoned this effort in 2010.

After readin' Thurman's latest interview, I'm startin' to dislike the kid more and more. Although I respect him as a fighter, I hate his cocky attitude. I see a lot of flaws in his fight game, but he talks like he's the best thing in boxin'. It's only a matter of time before someone exposes this cocky-ass, sloppy-fightin' ass dude. He has power, but power isn't everything. I'm ready for this guy to be in a fight where he has to display more than just power. Thoughts?

I've stayed in 3 different ones..
Pop, All Star Movies, and All Star Sports.
I haven't ventured from the values yet.
Lets see if anyone has actually stayed at all of them.
There are 25 total :
10 - Deluxe Resorts (including the Swan and Dolphin)
4 - Moderate Resorts
4 - Value Resorts
5 - Vacation Club Resorts
2 - Cabins & Campgrounds
I guess there could be just 20 if you did not count the Wilderness Lodge, Boardwalk, and Beach Resorts twice (once as Vacation and once as Deluxe) and the "unoffiical" Swan amd Doplhin. Hey, then it is more of a challenge to stay at all of them.

- HTML "special characters": Certain Wikipedia article text encoded using HTML special characters is stripped from the WikiReader's output.
- Mathematical formulas: Original versions of the WikiReader do not display Wikipedia article information encoded as a formula using LaTeX (see Math markup). This has been addressed with an optional firmware update, which is pre-loaded on newer WikiReaders.
- Treatment of missing information: The WikiReader does not provide any indication of gaps where information has been deleted from a Wikipedia article. Images, tables, mathematical formulas and other information that was not encoded strictly as plain text in the original Wikipedia article is silently deleted from the WikiReader's output.
- Search: The WikiReader's search capabilities are basic. There is no full text search capability. Only the titles of Wikipedia articles can be searched. The WikiReader does support incremental search of article titles, beginning with the first characters of each title. Search terms must be spelled correctly. Wildcard searching is not supported.

Title: | Building a bridge to pedagogic research: teaching social science research methods to humanities practitioners |

Abstract: | Disciplinary differences in approaches and methodologies to research present an important challenge to humanities practitioners wishing to engage in pedagogic research. This article outlines the development of a social sciences research methods workshop as an example of an intervention to provide a bridge for modern languages practitioners to engage with pedagogic research. The workshops have also raised questions about the capacity of UK higher educational institutions to provide research training for their staff at introductory levels, as well as identifying barriers to languages practitioners contributing to "generic" pedagogic research. Overcoming these barriers is a long term process, but in the shorter term the workshops are good way of raising awareness of social science research methods and offering a possible route into publishing pedagogic research which has an audience beyond the languages community. |

Oil Markets and the Shale Boom 2014
Risks, Rewards, and Soft Power
In oil markets, the year 2014 already looks to repeat 2013 with some important differences. Unpredictability in the commodities' extraction and delivery, political risk, and policy risk may play a bigger role in 2014. The potential lifting of the crude oil export ban, which the industry and some lawmakers desire, may also stir up the market.
On the policy front, safety and methods of transporting oil and water disposal issues arose in 2013, and will likely again in 2014. The second rail disaster from transporting oil from North Dakota's Bakken Shale, the Lac-Mégantic, Quebec incident with loss of life and the December 30th Casselton derailment, renewed the debate between pipelines versus rail transportation. The director of the North Dakota Department of Mineral Resources "predicted that as much as 90 percent of crude produced in the Bakken this year will move by rail" a recent article noted. In Parker County, Texas, the Texas Railroad Commission listened to residents' complaints about earthquakes, which they attribute to disposal wells. The US Geological Survey sees a link between the earthquakes and wastewater disposal; a similar renewal in earthquake activity is reported in Oklahoma as well. CONTINUE»
Frenemies in OPEC
More Supply, Competition and Friction Possible
News of Iran's potential slow ramp up of oil supply resounded with a downward small ping in prices in late November, later to bounce back based on supply realities and economic growth. Iraqi oil supply keeps increasing, averaging about 3 million barrels per day, a new high in the last 20 years. Iraq plans to keep pumping — growing production 500,000 – 750,000 barrels more per day in 2014. Iraq's output relative to OPEC production hovers near 10%, from around 7.5% in 2008. Iran's contribution to OPEC production was around 12% in 2008, dropping in 2013 to 8.6%, according to a recent Wall Street Journal article.
"Al Arab Yantafiq lam yantafique," said Mr. Charles Kestenbaum, a top Middle East expert and former U.S. Trade Specialist, in a November 25th interview, immediately following the news of Iran's nuclear deal. This Arabic expression is translated as: "Arabs can only agree to disagree." In late November, the Dallas Committee on Foreign Relations hosted Charles Kestenbaum, a veteran of Middle East affairs since the mid-1970s. In his quote, a common expression, lies the challenges ahead in the Middle East.
Israeli Eastern Mediterranean Gas Finds Offer New Opportunities
Geopolitics in Region Could be Impacted
Recent natural gas discoveries off Israel's eastern Mediterranean Sea are reversing its role of importer to that of exporter. According to the Energy Information Administration (EIA), the larger finds — the Tamar and Leviathan fields — hold estimated reserves of 10 trillion cubic feet (Tcf) and 18 Tcf respectively. These fields are part of the Levant Basin, with probable oil reserves of 1.7 billion barrels and probable natural gas resources of 122 Tcf.
In the past, Israel imported most of its natural gas supply from Egypt. "Until early in 2012, the country received 40% of the gas it needed — 90% for electricity generation — from Egypt via a marine pipeline between El Arish and Ashkelon," notes Oil & Gas Journal. Egypt, facing gas shortfalls, is planning to import gas via LNG, though pipeline deliveries from Israel are likely cheaper. Spot LNG in the east Mediterranean region is currently priced around $12.00 per million British thermal units.
Arctic Frontier: Resource and Transit Hopes Should Be Cautioned
Resources, Routes, and Boundaries
The Arctic is considered the last frontier in energy exploration and development. The region catches headlines from time to time — an international maritime boundary dispute between Russia and Norway, the 2007 planting of a Russian flag under the North Pole, and lately, the effect of melting sea ice. The latest Intergovernmental Panel (IPCC) report on climate change will expose how the oceans are literally taking the heat, compared to the atmosphere. This bodes ill for the Arctic, as warming oceans melt sea ice. The U.S.'s Arctic policy, articulated earlier this year by President Obama, is to advance national security, pursue responsible Arctic stewardship and strengthen international cooperation.
Arctic States, and members of the Arctic Council, with land masses contiguous to the Arctic Ocean, are Canada, Denmark, Norway, Russia and the U.S. These countries have the right, up to 200 nautical miles, to claim an exclusive economic zone which allows them exclusive jurisdiction over the natural resources, both in the water column and in the seabed. And, these States will be able to claim additional continental shelf jurisdiction beyond 200 miles. The current international legal framework for which these claims are made, resides under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). Iceland, Finland and Sweden have land above the Arctic Circle, and are part of the Arctic Council. Recently twelve countries were given observer status, including China, India, the U.K., Germany, and other large EU states.
Stepping Back from the Edges of Energy Opposites
A Rational Middle in Energy Futures
I recently spoke with director Gregory Kallenberg of the energy documentary film series, the "Rational Middle." In their second round of energy education and outreach, Kallenberg and team address the topics of renewables, shale gas, conservation and transportation, and many others. From the short films, roughly ten to fifteen minutes each, I viewed the renewables, shale gas, and drilling features. They were well done and I intend to view more time permitted, particularly the "days in the life of" and Canada films.
What is useful —whatever part of the energy spectrum one falls into—is the exercise of being open and willing to listen to the arguments. The mere act of spending the time listening to the multiple perspectives offered was an exercise in finding one's own middle. Hats off to the gesture, both simple and yet complicated, of finding and presenting the middle. The films feature some good academic and think tank-type commentary, of the ones I viewed.
Revival in Oil and Gas Production and the Spaces In Between
Favorable Economics, the Permian, and Choices
In July, I wrote about the ramped up activity in the Permian Basin. The point of that story was to merely observe and document that period of time in the Basin. In the data offered over the course of several articles, the conclusion was clear: the U.S. is in the early period of another boom from U.S. production of oil, and Texas is largely the zone for the majority of the production capacity. While the Bakken Shale and the Eagle Ford receive numerous well-deserved headlines, exploration and production (E&P) firms were busy making new history in the Permian Basin.
The largest producer in the Permian Basin is Occidental Petroleum, also known as Oxy. This also makes the firm the largest producer in Texas. Pioneer Natural Resources, Apache and Kinder Morgan Production follow behind Oxy in Permian Basin production for 2012. According to the Energy Information Agency, in 2012 the U.S. imported approximately 10.6 million barrels of crude oil per day. The ratings agency Moody's recently made an announcement about the impact of the "Permian revival" on exploration and production (E&P) firms. In their communication, they mention producers speculate that the full development of the Wolfcamp Shale could result in 2 million barrels a day — more than the 1970s peak for the entire basin. That is nearly 20% of U.S. daily imports. When might that happen? Hard to say.
How U.S. Oil Matters to Global Markets
Impacting Economics, Geopolitics and Markets
The U.S. is expected to spend about 8.5% of its GDP on energy in 2013. In 2008, when oil prices peaked, it was closing in on 10%. U.S. oil production provides a buffer to supply shocks — which happens frequently in the Middle East and North Africa, two key crude supply regions. In July 2013, disruptions to crude oil and liquids production were nearly 2.7 million barrels per day. Of the supply disruptions, 800,000 barrels were from non-OPEC nations and the other 1.9 million from OPEC, according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA). August is estimated at a 2.8 million shortfall.
The OPEC-related outages, which include Iran, Iraq, Libya and Nigeria, are considered to be the highest since early 2009. This has contributed to rising prices, from the year's low of $97 in April to a high nearing $117 August 27th, after Syrian chemical weapons attacks followed on the heels of Egypt's political turmoil. The causes of the outages in Libya were from labor disputes, while Iraq's shortfalls originated from pipeline disruptions from violence; Iran's woes stem partly from sanctions, and Nigerian oil challenges related generally to oil theft and infrastructure sabotage and degradation.
Tension in Egypt Triggers More Complexity
Geopolitical Risk Continues, Part Two
Turmoil in Egypt continues to roil oil markets and confound Middle East regional stability. Goldman Sachs said Monday, August 19th, five days after the violence escalated, it expected tighter oil markets to propel Brent to $115 "in the very near term." More interesting though are the shifts occurring in the geopolitical landscape of the broader Middle East.
Saudi King Abdullah publicly gave his approval and support for the military-backed government of Egypt. He pledged a $12 billion aid package along with the UAE and Kuwait, four times as much as the military and economic grants from the U.S. and the European Union combined ($1.5bn and $1.3bn respectively). The threat of political Islam vis-a-vis the Muslim Brotherhood is seen as potentially up-ending stability in the Kingdom. This high-stakes game of regional poker has just gotten more complicated. The outcome, which may occur in waves of violence and instability, could take many years to be realized.
Energy Market's Early Reaction to Egypt's Unrest
Geopolitical Risk Rises Again
The unrest in Egypt reverberated across oil markets to a degree, and a cloud of an unknown magnitude hangs over the Middle East North Africa (MENA) region once again. Some analysts expect oil prices, which have already risen to account for the high-octane volatility of Egypt's political situation, to rise further. The Egyptian military's crackdown on pro-Morsi supporters in mid-August has led to a significant death toll, with government condemnations ringing across the globe.
Brent crude oil prices have already risen by $10 per barrel since the military took over Egypt's government in early July. However, conflict in Syria and unrest in Libya have also played a role in rising oil prices. WTI crude was trading at $107.33 per barrel, up 0.45 percent, and Brent up 0.34 percent, at $110.58 per barrel, on the morning of August 15th (GMT), after pro-Morsi supporters were just overrun. By the end of the day, Brent crude futures for September delivery traded at $111.11, the highest since March. A spokesperson for the Suez Canal, which transports oil from the Middle East to global markets, says oil transportation infrastructure security has been re-fortified. The Suez Canal and SUMED (Suez-Mediterranean) Pipeline are strategic routes for Persian Gulf oil and gas shipments to Europe and North America.
Permian Basin a Microcosm of Global Energy Markets
Jaunt Through West Texas Reveals Oil's Revival
It was a 102 degree-hot, mid-July, typical summer day travelling on the road to West Texas; a nine-hour, high-speed journey made with numerous gasoline pit stops. Passing by Midland-Odessa, the commercial hub of the Permian Basin, was a stretch of energy mecca some 20 miles or more, filled to the brim on either side with oilfield services firms — transmission gear, pump equipment, fracking services, and other oil and gas-related businesses. Pumpjacks, also known as nodding donkeys, scattered across swathes of the expansive oilfields. Signs with "Home for Your Workforce" in Pecos and Odessa cropped up a couple of times. Workers, and their firms, are settling in for a boom which could last for many years to come, like the second boomlet in the 1970s and early '80s that followed the Middle East oil crisis. Bust followed boom in Texas to the mid-1990s.
The Mega-Basin
The scale of energy production in the Permian Basin looks mammoth. The Permian Basin produced more than 270 million barrels of oil in 2010, over 280 million barrels in 2011, and 312 million in 2012. In percentages, production increased 10% in 2011 and 35% in 2012. Texas' oil production represents about 25% of the U.S. oil production, with the Permian housing 57% of Texas' oil production, according to the Texas Railroad Commission.
Where there are higher prices or margins possible to justify accessible resources, production will follow. The ability to recover more oil, thanks to technological advances, which include multi-stage hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling and carbon dioxide injection, has reversed the declining U.S. production trend of 20-years prior.

Illegal immigrants from Mexico are usually hired in California and taken to northern Wisconsin where they are dropped off in remote areas of the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest to clear areas, plant marijuana and cultivate the plants. Here, investigators often find garbage left behind by the workers once they harvest the marijuana. (Meg Jones / Milwaukee Journal Sentinel)

LOUISVILLE, KY (WAVE) – When you think of cattle feed, you probably don't think of candy, but due to the drought that's exactly what one farmer chose to do.
At Mayfield's United Livestock in Western Kentucky, owner Joseph Watson feeds his herd second hand candy.
Watson started feeding his cattle the candy because corn prices were so high.
He mixes the candy with an ethanol by-product and a mineral nutrient. He monitors the daily intake and said the cows have had no real health issues.

Terence Koh
Terence Koh
(Canadian/Chinese, 1977)
Terence Koh
(Chinese, b.1977) is an artist previously working under the pseudonym "asianpunkboy." His body of work extends from 'zines and handmade books to sculpture, Performance Art, and installation pieces. Koh's art, which incorporates punk, queer, and even pornographic aesthetic characteristics, has been described as part of the New Gothic Art movement. In 2003, the art collector Javier Peres, who had recently started the Peres Projects gallery in Los Angeles, invited Koh to feature his work at the gallery's inaugural show. Peres now represents Koh's work in Berlin, Germany, and Los Angeles. At Art Basel, Switzerland, in 2006, Koh's work included a series of glass cases containing gold-encrusted clods, described as the artist's excrement, which reportedly sold in total for close to $500,000. Shortly thereafter, in January 2007, the Whitney Museum dedicated its ground-floor gallery to a solo exhibit of Koh's work. More recently, in March 2011, the Mary Boone Gallery hosted Koh's solo exhibit-performance piece
, which featured the artist circling ceaselessly around an 8-foot-high pile of salt while wearing a white, pajama-like suit. The seemingly monastic elements of this particular exhibit caused some art critics to wonder if it served as a type of penance for some of Koh's aggressively audacious earlier works. Koh attended the Emily Carr Institute of Art and Design in Vancouver. He currently lives and works in New York.

Top 10 Cities for Book Lovers
Great cities for people who love books
Ranking Criteria
- High quantity of bookstores
- Independently-owned stores
- Large collections of books
- Events celebrating authors, writing, books
We may live in the age of the e-book, but we're taking things back to basics. Before Borders and Barnes and Noble, before the coming of the Kindle, there was the independent bookstore. The few local bookstores that remain in business are considered relics of an age that some predict is coming to an end. They are beloved by a customer base that appreciates the experience of hunting through narrow rows of shelves for a great read. They offer hand-selected books, mismatched armchairs and a staff of locals just dying to tell you what they read. These stores are as unique as the written works they contain.
In this list we're highlighting some of the independent bookstores that are still standing and the cities that support them. We started our search by looking at cities with either iconic bookstores, huge numbers of bookstores or emphatic bookstore supporters. You can see which stores maintain the independent spirit and the cities we deem best suited for book lovers.
But one cannot live on books alone. That's why the cities we picked offer a great quality of life, plenty of entertainment and awesome outdoor activities. After all, there's nothing worse than reading an inspiring novel and having nothing to do after closing the cover.

Westland Lynx
Lynx / Super Lynx | |
A French Navy Lynx helicopter taking off | |
Role | Multi-purpose military helicopter |
National origin | United Kingdom |
Manufacturer | Westland Helicopters AgustaWestland |
First flight | 21 March 1971 |
Introduction | 1978 |
Status | In service |
Primary users | British Army Royal Navy French Navy German Navy |
Produced | 1978–present |
Variants | AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat |
Developed into | Westland 30 |
The Westland Lynx is a British multi-purpose military helicopter designed and built by Westland Helicopters at its factory in Yeovil. Originally intended as a utility craft for both civil and naval usage, military interest led to the development of both battlefield and naval variants. The Lynx went into operational usage in 1977 and was later adopted by the armed forces of over a dozen nations, primarily serving in the battlefield utility, anti-armour, search and rescue and anti-submarine warfare roles.
The Lynx was the world's first fully aerobatic helicopter. In 1986 a specially modified Lynx set the current Fédération Aéronautique Internationale's official airspeed record for helicopters.[1] The Westland 30 was derived from the Lynx as a civil utility helicopter, however it was not a commercial success and only a limited number were built. In the 21st century, a modernised military variant of the Lynx, designated as the AgustaWestland AW159 Wildcat, as multirole combat helicopter scheduled to enter service in 2014. The Lynx remains in production under AgustaWestland, the successor to Westland Helicopters.
The initial design (then known as the Westland WG.13) was started in the mid-1960s as a replacement for the Westland Scout and Wasp, and a more advanced alternative to the UH-1 Iroquois.[2] As part of the Anglo-French helicopter agreement signed in February 1967, the French company Aérospatiale were given a work share in the manufacturing programme.[3] Aérospatiale received 30% of production with Westland performing the remainder.[4] It was intended that France would buy Lynxes for its Navy and as an armed reconnaissance helicopter for the French Army, with the United Kingdom in return buying Aérospatiale Gazelles and Pumas for its armed forces. The French Army cancelled its requirement for Lynxes in October 1969.[3]
The original Lynx design was powered by two Rolls-Royce Gem 2 turboshaft engines, and used many components derived from the Scout and Wasp. However, the rotor was new, being of a semi-rigid design with honeycomb sandwich blades.[5][6] The first Lynx prototype took its maiden flight on 21 March 1971.[4][7] In 1972, a Lynx broke the world speed record over 15 and 25 km by flying at 321.74 km/h (199.9 mph). It also set a new 100 km closed circuit record shortly afterwards, flying at 318.504 km/h (197.9 mph).[8]
The British Army ordered over 100 Lynxes, designated the Lynx AH.1 (Army Helicopter Mark 1), for different roles, such as transport, armed escort, anti-tank warfare (with eight TOW missiles), reconnaissance and evacuation. The Army has fitted a Marconi Elliot AFCS system onto the Lynx for automatic stabilisation on three axes.[5] Deliveries of production Lynxes began in 1977.[4] An improved Lynx AH.1 with Gem 41-1 or Gem 42 engines and an uprated transmission was referred to as the Lynx AH.5; only five were built for evaluation purposes. The AH.5 led to the Lynx AH.7, which added a new tail rotor derived from the Westland 30, a reinforced airframe, improved avionics and defensive aids. These later received upgrades such as British Experimental Rotor Programme (BERP) rotor blades.[9]
The initial naval variant of the Lynx, known as the Lynx HAS.2 in British service, or Lynx Mk.2(FN) in French service,[citation needed] differed from the Lynx AH.1 in being equipped with a tricycle undercarriage and a deck restraint system, folding main rotor blades, an emergency flotation system and a nose-mounted radar. An improved Lynx for the Royal Navy, the Lynx HAS.3, had Gem 42-1 Mark 204 engines, an uprated transmission, a new flotation system and an Orange Crop ESM system. The Lynx HAS.3 also received various other updates in service. A similar upgrade to the French Lynx was known as the Lynx Mk.4(FN). Many different export variants based on the Lynx HAS.2 and HAS.3 were sold to other air arms.[9]
In 1986, the former company demonstrator Lynx, registered G-LYNX, was specially modified with Gem 60 engines and BERP rotor blades.[10] On 11 August 1986 the helicopter was piloted by Trevor Egginton when it set an absolute speed record for helicopters over a 15 and 25 km course by reaching 400.87 km/h (249.09 mph);[1] an official record with the FAI it currently holds.[1][11]
Super Lynx and Battlefield Lynx[edit]
Announced in 1984, the Lynx-3 was an enhanced Lynx development, with a stretched fuselage, a redesigned tailboom and tail surfaces, Gem 60-3/1 engines and a new wheeled tricycle undercarriage.[9] The Lynx-3 also included BERP rotor blades, and increased fuel capacity.[12] Both Army and Naval variants were proposed.[5] The project was ended in 1987 due to insufficient orders.[12] Only one Army Lynx-3 prototype was built.[9]
A development of the Lynx AH.7 with the wheeled undercarriage of the Lynx-3 was marketed by Westland as the Battlefield Lynx in the late 1980s.[9] The prototype first flew in November 1989 and deliveries began in 1991.[13] This variant entered British Army service as the Lynx AH.9.[9]
In the early 1990s, Westland incorporated some of the technology from the Naval Lynx-3 design into a less-radical Super Lynx. This featured BERP rotor blades, the Westland 30-derived tail rotor, Gem 42 engines, a new under-nose 360-degree radar installation and an optional nose-mounted electro-optical sensor turret. Royal Navy Lynx HAS.3s upgraded to Super Lynx standard were known in service as the Lynx HMA.8, and several export customers ordered new-build or upgraded Super Lynxes. Later, Westland offered the Super Lynx 200 with LHTEC CTS800 engines and the Super Lynx 300, which also had a new cockpit and avionics derived from the AgustaWestland EH101. Both of these models have achieved several export sales.[9]
Future Lynx/Lynx Wildcat[edit]
The British Army and Royal Navy Lynx fleets are due to be upgraded to a new common advanced Lynx variant based on the Super Lynx 300, with a new tailboom, undercarriage, cockpit, avionics and sensors.[9] Initially referred to as the Future Lynx, then Lynx Wildcat, this type has since been renamed as the AW159 Wildcat.
The Lynx is a multi-purpose helicopter design with a side by side cockpit for pilot and observer. It features a large sliding crew door on each side giving access to the cabin which can be used to accommodate up to nine equipped troops dependent on seating configuration, or alternatively radio equipment when used in the command post role or surplus fuel for long journeys.[9] Its twin Rolls-Royce Gem turboshaft engines power a four-blade semi-rigid main rotor system.[9][14] The Lynx is an agile helicopter, capable of performing loops and rolls.
Operational history[edit]
The Lynx Mk.2(FN) entered service with the French Navy's Aviation navale in 1979. The Lynx AH.1 entered service with the Army Air Corps (AAC) in 1979, followed by the Lynx HAS.2 with the Fleet Air Arm (FAA) in 1981. The FAA Lynx fleet was upgraded to Lynx HAS.3 standard during the 1980s, and again to Lynx HMA.8 standard in the 1990s. Most Army Lynx were later upgraded to Lynx AH.7 standard.[9]
As of 2009[update], the AAC operate the Lynx AH.7 and AH.9 as utility helicopters. Army owned Lynx AH.7 and AH.9 are also in service with the FAA where they operate as attack/utility helicopters in support of the Royal Marines. Lynx HAS.3 and HMA.8 operate as anti-submarine warfare and maritime attack helicopters equipped with the Stingray torpedo, Sea Skua anti-ship missile and depth charges from Royal Navy warships. HAS.3 and HMA.8 are also capable of anti-trafficking and anti-piracy roles when carrying boarding parties and when fitted with the FN Herstal M3M pintle mounted heavy machine gun.
The HAS.2 naval ASW variant took part in combat operations in British service during the Falklands War in 1982. Although none were shot down, three were lost aboard vessels hit in Argentine air attacks (HMS Coventry, HMS Ardent and MV Atlantic Conveyor).[15]
Lynx helicopters used the Sea Skua to devastating effect against the Iraqi Navy during the 1991 Gulf War. The Lynx also saw service with British Army forces during that conflict.
In September 2000 the Lynx was used during an operation to rescue British soldiers in Sierra Leone.
The Lynx was used during the invasion of Iraq in 2003. It has also seen extensive service during peacekeeping operations and exercises, and it is standard equipment for most Royal Navy surface combatants when they deploy.
A British Lynx from 847 Naval Air Squadron was shot down over Basra, Iraq on 6 May 2006. The helicopter was downed by a surface-to-air missile (using a Man Portable Air Defence System) killing all five on board. This was the first British helicopter and only the second British aircraft downed (the first was an RAF Hercules) due to enemy fire in the war. A flight of either AAC or RM Lynx AH.7s were based at Basra Air Station under command of the Joint Helicopter Force (Iraq) on a rotational basis,[16] but are restricted operationally during the summer months due to the very high daytime temperatures which affect lifting capacity and endurance dramatically.
The Super Lynx has been used extensively by the Portuguese Navy in Operation Ocean Shield. It operates from NRP Alvares Cabral and has been fitted with a FN M3M 12.7 mm machine gun.
On 28 February 2011, one Royal Netherlands Navy Naval Aviation Service Lynx was captured in Libya during an evacuation mission. Three navy personnel were taken prisoner by Libyan troops and two civilians were evacuated by other means.[17]

A 98% full moon with a perfectly centered jet plane flying across it. The photo is 100% genuine, I was very lucky to catch this moment. |
A full moon is brilliant, but you don't see any craters. The full moon rises just as the sun sets. |
A full moon rising behind a tree. Neat picture! Note how the moon appears flattened when it is close to the horizon. |
A full moon rising behind a pine tree. |
Here is the full moon at perigree, when it is closest to earth, much larger and brighter than usual. |
When the moon is closer to earth, it appears larger and is called a Supermoon. This photo shows the difference in appearance depending on the distance from earth. Both images were taken with the same camera and lens magnification. |
This is an exact full moon, taken just before an eclipse- You won't find one much rounder than this! |
The Harvest Moon, the full moon closest to the vernal equinox. This is reduced from a 32 Megapixel image. Here is the same photo next to a crop from the full-sized image. |
The full moon next to Mars on December 23, 2007. This is a good illustration of the relative size of each. Mars is the red dot. |
Move your mouse over this image to see the difference in 24 hours. The change around full moon is more subtle. The color difference is due to the atmosphere. |
This moon is just 5 hours past full and you can already see some loss of roundness on the right side. Here is a link to more full moon photos. |
Moonrise over the Eiffel Tower in Paris France. |
Moonrise over Cape Hatteras on the Atlantic Ocean. |
A waning moon, 2 or 3 days past full. |
Lunar Eclipse Photos:
This is a rare lunar occultation of a bright star. The photo shows the star Regulus about to disappear behind the moon. |
Here is an animation of this eclipse, made from original photos. Note how the star disappears when the dark edge of the moon moves in front of it. |
Did you ever wonder how people can see different images on the face of the full moon?
Here is a page showing some of these images.
Did you know that below the equator the moon is upside down and travels backwards ?
Yet you can still see the "man in the moon." Check out this page to see how.
Moon Fact:It is an optical illusion that the moon appears larger on the horizon than when it is high in the sky.If you place your thumb and index finger a pencil width apart and hold it at arm's length, you will always be able to fit the moon between them no matter where it is. It's simply a matter of perspective- the moon looks bigger next to a tree than when it is overhead and surrounded by black. |
You'll never know what you might see on Halloween night. (Find out the source for this picture). |

text: Out, out you phlegm stucked, caught my tongue, can not untangle from water turning into ice. It was too quick I did not have time to escape. What are you saying? Darling your name really hurts my throat. Guttural obscene, the sound clanging metal on metal, scraping my spine I unloose both feet and teeth. You know lips are really not for kisses. They inevitably stick, sticky together from being speechless for too long. Then the skin breaks, eager out comes sour breath; your name.

Great movie! In the tradition of Hitchcock you know in advance how it will turn out, but the suspense is in trying to figure out how Cooper will get caught. Cooper's quiet intensity and the cast's low-key acting throughout were perfect... But reading the posts here it appears most of today's movie fans are more entertained by reality TV! I only pray Hollywood doesn't surrender. .
What kind of Pen was Hannsen refering to in the movie when he said, "these are the greatest pens in the world, I would not use anything else
A decent movie all together .. But probably the dryest movie I've ever seen.
Just saw the best intrigue as of late; and, no bang-em-up, bloody violence as in so much of today's media. Lot's of true deception by an intelligent, but religious fanatic/sexual deviant. Cooper should be nominated for an academy award for his exceptional job of playing the part of Hanssen. Am anxious to read the book...........
