Kansas proposal for $1.5 billion in pension bonds advances
Kansas would issue $1.5 billion in bonds to improve the short-term financial health of its pension system for teachers and government workers under a bill that received first-round approval Tuesday in the state House.
The measure, HB 2403, would allow the state to inject a big dose of new dollars into the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System so that its assets would cover more of its long-term obligations to provide retirement benefits to workers. Also, supporters believe that the state's annual contribution of tax dollars to keep KPERS financially stable wouldn't have to grow as much as it would now, even with the bond payments.
House members advanced the bill on a voice vote. They expected to take a final action on the bill by Wednesday, and passage then would send the measure to the Senate.
Rep. Dan Hawkins, a Wichita Republican, said the state pension system is "kind of like a patient going to a doctor."
"The patient's just kind of run down, maybe a little sick, needing a little bit of help," Hawkins said. "And so they give that patient a booster shot to get them going."
The pension system's assets now cover only 53 percent of its long-term obligations, and issuing bonds would allow the state to boost that percentage to 61 percent in 2015 and accelerate its rise to 100 percent.
But the state also would be gambling that KPERS investment earnings would outstrip the interest it would pay on the bonds, and some House members questioned using debt to bolster the pension system.
"We need to solve the problem with assets, with income. We need to be paying down our liabilities," said Rep. Pete DeGraaf, a Mulvane Republican. "My concern is that if we say yes to bonding, we're going to go to sleep."
The bill would follow up on two years' worth of legislation overhauling KPERS to eliminate a projected $9.3 billion shortfall between anticipated revenues and benefits promised to teachers and government workers through 2033. The pension system projects that the gap will be eliminated over two decades even if lawmakers do nothing more.
The two years' worth of legislation committed the state to larger annual contributions to KPERS and dedicated future profits from state-owned casinos to the retirement system. Reining in the annual contribution of tax dollars to the pension system would lessen the squeeze on other parts of the budget.
The state authorized $500 million in pension bonds in 2004 to help lessen the long-term KPERS funding gap. Supporters of this year's bill noted that the state is paying 5.4 percent interest on those bonds while KPERS has earned 6.4 percent on its investments since they were issued, even with the recession.

My FH and I really want a small, intimate wedding. But we've got a lot of family and friends who might be offended if we don't invite them. We're planning a second wedding reception that will be more casual, and larger. But we're not sure how to word the invitations, especially as some people will be invited to both. Can you help?Abby, I'd print two totally separate invitations. Send the invitations to the small wedding first. They should be worded like any other wedding invitation. (See sample wedding invitation wording here.) Then send out invites to your second reception, which could read something like "Mr. and Mrs. AbbysMomandDad invite you to a celebration of the wedding of their daughter, Abby Smith to Handsome Groom." Another alternative: "Come raise a glass and toast the recent wedding of Abby Smith and Handsome Groom! A backyard wedding celebration. June 28, 2008. The Smith Home, 49 Huckleberry Way." But if you really want a small wedding, consider that planning a second reception will likely be more work, stress, and money than if you'd just had one medium-sized wedding. People will understand when you tell them, "Our wedding was so beautiful and intimate, just us and our immediate families." Good luck!

My neice had a small wedding for family only. She neglected to include my family…she only has 2 aunts! My kids are still angry with her and she's been married over a year now. {I personally didn't mind not being included but it really hurt my kids' feelings}
I am planning on 'running away' to get married a year from this November. Like 1,000 miles from where we live and I was wondering about the reception thing.
I'll just print invitations to the reception.
Great advice, by the way!
- March 24, 2009 at 6:15 pm(2) Penelope says:
I don't understand some wedding etiquette some couples display. I felt it was bad etiquette; and I was insulted and want to know anyone's opinion. A friend who is my age and our mothers are also friends, handed my mom a loose flyer and told her it was for me(just for me); it read: Join us for the "After Dinner Party" for music and dancing. I don't even dance. I was fully aware they were having a real wedding and reception with food and just to hear I was only good enough to have after the dinner made me feel wretched. I rather have not got invited to any of it.
Then another friend that our families have known each other all our lives sent me an invitation for "Good food and drinks and music" It wasn't called a reception and it was to happen in April. At the bottom of the invitation was the wedding date which of course was for an earlier time in March. But the type font was very small. Then strangely I got the Bridal shower invite after the wedding invite. About the wedding and reception though, I wondered why the dates were so far apart; I assumed there must be a reception after the wedding that I'm not being invited to. But others close to her said she wasn't going to have a party afterward to save money for a small get together later only. I saw pictures that proved otherwise. There was a 3 tier Cake and a formal reception catered by a restaurant; even with dancing afterward. I shouldn't feel so bad but I do but then again she didn't even tell some of her relatives but I think this is rude.
- March 30, 2009 at 10:05 pm(3) Emma says:
Some brides are on a very tight budget can't afford to have all of their family and friends at a wedding AND a reception. Also, sometimes well intentioned plans can change. I am a bride to be and am planning a small intimate wedding and reception in my back yard. This is unfortunately after having postponed it three times due to health reasons and financial circumstances and also after having mailed invitations to 85 people. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford such a large guest list and had to down size it to 30 people. Yes, etiquette dictates that it would be polite if brides were honest and upfront and explained things to family and friends, yet at the same time, we can't always say everything to everyone all the time. I think people need to be a little more understanding and realize that there may be things going on in a person's life that they know nothing about. Give brides a break and stop pressuring us to feel obligated to invite everyone we know to everything we plan. It's the bride's perogative what she chooses to do or not… get over it.

AMEN EMMA!!! i'm going through the same thing!
- January 4, 2010 at 4:43 pm(5) Danielle says:
I am going through the same thing too. I don't think it's rude if you are only invited to the dance. People need to lighten up.
- August 26, 2010 at 6:52 pm(6) AJ says:
I am from England, but living in the US. I've never understood why they don't do the same here in the US as we do in England.
The ceremony, due to the usually small size of churches or licensed ceremony premises, and the main reception are for close friends and family invitees only. After those, the celebrations move to a bigger premises for the evening reception, which is usually buy your own booze, finger food provided, and all the extra friends, work colleagues and neighbours are invited. The evening celebrations are way more casual, usually with a DJ, or music and people arrive as late or leave as early as they please.
The Bride and Groom usually change into their "going away dress" during this later event, and are seen off by all the guests before the event finishes.
For the sake of the budgets of some brides and grooms, I'd love to see this type of informal event becoming more common here on the US.

Wednesday's abortion debate brings philosophical perspectives
On Wednesday, students packed Knox 20 to watch the "Abortion. is it Ethical?" discussion. The night was filled with anecdotes and hypothetical scenarios both debaters used to support their stance. Catherine Nolan, a Ph.D. student in philosophy, argued the anti-abortion side, and Stephan Kershnar (standing), a professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy at SUNY Fredonia, argued for abortion rights.
Picture you and your friends are on a plane with Tony Stark from the comic book series Iron Man. Stark sees Pepper Pots making out with another man, becomes enraged and forces everyone out of the plane miles above of the earth.
Wednesday's "Abortion: is it Ethical?" discussion was filled with anecdotes and hypothetical scenarios like this as the two debaters attempted to debunk each other's positions using philosophy as the basis of their arguments.
"We can only ask people to leave once we've invited them to somewhere, not that we can kill them in order to remove them," said Catherine Nolan, a Ph.D. student in philosophy who argued the anti-abortion side. "Even if someone does not have the right to be somewhere, you can't kill or let them die."
Students packed Knox 20 to listen to Nolan and Stephan Kershnar, a professor and chair of the Department of Philosophy at SUNY Fredonia who argued for abortion rights, debate the controversial topic of abortion. The event centered on the moral implications of abortion, rather than the legal or religious ones.
"We believe the training and experience of philosophers rendered them well prepared to shed light on controversial issues," said David Hershenov, chair of UB's Philosophy Department and moderator of the debate.
Nolan used the Tony Stark anecdote to respond to Kershnar's claim that a host has the option to dismiss everyone at a party at his or her discretion. She said in the same way, a fetus, who is invited, cannot be "dismissed" from a woman's womb at the discretion of that woman.
Kershnar centered his position on the thesis that abortion is morally permissible.
At one point, Nolan suggested that abortion involved "killing" the fetus. Kershnar responded by asking whether the millions of abortions that have taken place should result in the mothers being arrested for murder.
Kershnar used many hypothetical cases to demonstrate his points.
In one case, he described a woman who opened her window, which had bars to prevent burglars, to let air into the room. Because the bars were defective, a burglar climbed into the window. Kershnar said it is illogical to claim the burglar has a right to be in the house because the bars were defective.
In the same way, he said, it is absurd to claim a fetus has a right to be inside of a woman. He said if a fetus has no right to be inside a woman, then it may be removed with "proportionate force" - and abortion is that force.
Nolan countered his point, claiming, "Even if someone does not have the right to be somewhere, you can't kill or let them die."
Nolan addressed what she called a common abortion rights argument. She said many people justify legalizing abortion because it gives women a safe place to receive the procedure instead of "back-alley abortions."
"People often argue that we need to agree on some type of behavior in order to control it - in order to help the people who engage in it because it's going to happen regardless," Nolan said.
She said whether it is safe or not doesn't change whether abortion is ethical.
Nolan posed the analogy: If a professor teaches his or her students easy ways to plagiarize and cheat, it doesn't justify plagiarizing or cheating. She said it would be ridiculous for a professor to make "something wrong" easily accessible for students.
She added that instead of focusing attention on abortions, people should focus on the women.
"We don't actually care and want to ignore her problems," she said. "Abortion is not a solution."
Last year's abortion debate ended with abortion rights debaters leaving early; many people in the audience, on both sides of the argument, were shouting and dissatisfied.
This year, however, the event proved that two people with different views could have a peaceful and logical discussion about the controversial issue.

Welcome from Sheriff Campbell
Welcome to the Boone County Sheriff's Office new website.
As part of our on-going efforts to better communicate with the folks in our community, we hope to make this site informative and user friendly. Having said that, please be patient with us as will build the site to make it interactive for your needs.
Take a few minutes to browse the site. The 2008 Sheriff's Annual Report might be of interest as it highlights the many accomplishments of the hard working staff at the Sheriff's Office.
We would also encourage you to review our Mission Statement, Values Star, Core Values, Values Statement and Code of Ethics. Our staff stands behind these statements.
Finally, please be sure to visit our site frequently. We hope to soon offer an opportunity for you to enroll in a program to receive emergency and update text and email messages securely and directly from us. Another feature we hope to include will be the ability for you to listen to our local emergency services radio traffic via the website.
There is much to come!
Again, thanks for visiting our site.
Respectfully,Sheriff Ken Campbell

If the frustration of the impossible-to-comprehend loss to the Mercer [MASCOT]s yesterday at Mobile's Coca Cola Classic could possibly be assuaged by anything, it may be this: our basketball team has a .500 conference record.
Wow. I honestly would have thought that impossible a month ago. Dahveeeeed has become more consistent, the Whites have come into their own, and Kennedy is reintroducing us to his aggressive coaching style.
Yesterday, our Rebels handed the Georgia Bulldogs a loss to the tune of 69-47. While a rather unimpressive win when considering the state of Georgia basketball (how in the hell were they the SEC champs last year?), the occasion was stunning with all circumstances considered. Terrico White and David Huertas both scored from all over the floor and Malcolm White was a man-child, racking up a career-high 5 blocks. Our defense was good enough to keep Georgia to a paltry %25 shooting percentage.
While our regular season performance won't have us anywhere higher than "on the bubble," with regards to an NCAA tournament berth, a successful postseason could back us into the big dance. I certainly doubt it actually does happen, but it's not that far out of a possibility.
Next up: the Auburn Tigers, 8PM, Wednesday.

Chris Phillips answers your questions on Southend United
Updated 5:32pm Wednesday 16th April 2014 in Sport By Chris Phillips
This live event has finished
Thanks for all sending in your questions. I will be holding another question and answer session next Wednesday.
With the season coming to a close which faces to you expect to see go over the summer with promotion and without?
Chris: "It's an impossible question to answer really. I think Paul Smith will go as he will want to play first team football. Marc Laird hasn't featured much lately so I guess he might as well and the same with Mark Phillips who is out on loan. Freddy is probably 50/50 so it's hard to predict. Out of those under contract, I would say Daniel Bentley is probably most likely to leave in the summer if we don't go up."
Why is Phil Brown saying construction has started on new ground? When clearly it has not! What is going on there?
Chris: "I'm not aware of him saying that. I thought he had said he wanted work to start. He certainly hasn't said that to me anyway."
After reviewing @SUFCRootsHall for a number of seasons and as a fan, do you think that the stadium will ever go ahead?
Chris: "I get asked this question the most. When I tell people my job, it's the first thing they ever ask me. Everyone is in very deep when it comes to the stadium so it kind of has to happen now really. But it's just been going on for so long that it's hard to believe it ever will."
Any stadium news, still no offical comments?
Chris: "Nope, nothing to report on that at the moment. "
According to today's Echo, Brown has said that Freddy Eastwood has "worked his way back into his thoughts" for selection against Rochdale on Friday. Taking into account his cost, how likely is it that Freddy's recent form will earn him a new contract at the end of this season?
Chris: "I spoke to Phil Brown about this the other week. He said it was something that he was thinking about and that there's an option to extend Freddy's contract for a further year if they want to do so. He also said much would depend on how Freddy performed during the remainder of the season. Personally, I think it will come to his fitness, how his knee is and if he actually wants to keep on playing."
I will be answering your questions on Southend United up until 5pm tonight. It's been another busy few days with a disappointing 1-0 defeat against AFC Wimbledon being followed by Ben Coker signing a new deal. The reserves also beat Gillingham 5-0 with Freddy Eastwood and Bedsente Gomis impressing manager Phil Brown so there's certainly plenty to be talking about.

Regardless of whether or not the stadium does get built, do you think it is a good idea. We cannot fill half of Roots Hall so moving somewhere less accessible and twice the size is illogical is it not?

from Valdosta, Georgia
an excellent and easily digested protein
I have been using Pro Rice daily for over a year and am pleased with this product. It was recommended by my acupuncturist who practices Traditional Chinese Medicine. She steers me away from food that is difficult to digest. I use one rounded scoop in room temperature rice milk. It doesnt taste bad but neither does it taste good. If it tasted better it would get 5 stars from me. Im glad I was introduced to this product. No dairy no soy etc.
easily digested; mixes easily; good protein source; no dairy whey or soy
The taste is not exactly great.
√ I would recommend this item to a friend.

Soooo a lot has been going on. I've been invited to a Halloween costume party on October 30th and I have no clue as to what my costume should be. I won't be able to get into the party without a costume :(
If any of you have ideas for me....please shoot them my way!
On another note--I went to an exhibit (in Atlantic Station) called Dialog in the Dark. Have any of you heard of this exhibit? It is amazing! What happens is when you get to the exhibit you're asked to grab a cane (chest length--they explain why); escorted to a room to hear the rules; escorted to another room to hear a bit about what is going to happen, and as this is going on, the lights begin to dim until you're in total darkness. You're then introduced to your guide, who is visually impaired, and you're off to explore (in complete darkness). The guide takes you to a variety of places within the exhibit, and you are to locate some items, and tell him/her where you are and what the items are.
The whole experience was amazing! It was also kind of scary; not knowing where you are, not being able to see your hand in front of your face. You are depending on your hearing, smelling and touch. If this exhibit is in your city...you should totally go through the experience.
Also, I received a blog award from Fashion du Jour. Her blog is totally awesome! She has great style and wonderful insight on various subjects. What I'm suppose to do next is tell you 7 things you don't know about me as well as nominate 15 bloggers. So, I will be working on this and by tomorrow night, before Gossip Girl, I will have it all completed. Thank you Fashion du Jour! To be continued...
Now, here are some outfits that were not posted:

Police: More than $250,000 embezzled from eye center
Updated On: May 19 2014 05:27:55 PM CDT
Police said they have arrested four people for embezzling hundreds of thousands of dollars from an eye center in Greenville.
According to Det. Tom Woolard of the Greenville Police Department, more than $250,000 were stolen from Eastern Carolina Eye Center, PA on Stantonsburg Road.
Four suspects were arrested on May 16: (pictured l-r) Sabrina Dawn Fontana, her husband Kevin Nino Fontana, Mary Rollins Jones and Lorraine Joy DeCuzzi (not pictured), who face a combined 68 charges, said Woolard.
Det. Woolard said the owner of the eye center, Dr. James E. Holland, reported in June 2012 that an audit determined his office manager, Sabrina Fontana, converted funds without approval to increase her salary and benefits between January 2007 and March 2012. Fontana also allegedly used the business' credit card to pay for personal purchases totaling $158,216.72, according to Woolard.
Det. Woolard said he later learned that two other employees at the practice, Jones and DeCuzzi, knowingly allowed Fontana to increase their pay and benefits totaling $31,653.74 without authorization.
In addition, Fontana allegedly diverted $28,800 to her husband, Kevin Fontana, making him appear to be on the practice's payroll, said Woolard.
Det. Woolard said more than $250,000 were embezzled from the practice altogether. Police have identified additional employees and more charges are pending.
The four suspects arrested are charged with the following:
Sabrina Dawn Fontana:
-Obtaining property by false pretense (nine counts);
-Malfeasance of a corporate officer (19 counts);
-Conspiracy to commit false pretense (20 counts).
Kevin Nino Fontana:
-Obtaining property by false pretense (three counts);
-Conspiracy to commit false pretense (three counts).
Lorraine Joy DeCuzzi
-Obtaining property by false pretense (three counts);
-Conspiracy to commit false pretense (three counts).

IJS Radio: Top Ten – July 2014
If it's the first of the month, it must be time for the IJS Radio alternative history guide. The history they don't want you to know. And the IJS Radio chart for the previous month tagged on to the bottom of it for the benefit of fans of music and numbers.

JotR No. 56 – World Cupcake: Hostenspanken
Die Mannschaft. That's the nickname of the German national football team. That's Die Mannschaft. Such a beautiful language. A language where they can describe an event or place using just a single world. Surely Tuesday's demolition, nay spanking, of the hosts will shortly receive similar treatment. It was after all, the most incredible football semi-final seen since someone first thought of hacking off a prisoner's head and booting it around with their mates, before kicking it into the river and poisoning the town's water supply, leading to the death of half the population from cholera.

JotR No. 55 – World Cupcake: After Eights
Did you see the size of that grasshopper? If it was down to me, this competition would immediately be abandoned after James Rodriguez scored that goal and that interloper joined the celebrations. All remaining teams would have been placed in a secure insect free zone, before games of scissor-paper-stone settled the tournament winners and everyone left for the safety of their own homes. This is the world's premier sporting event, not Jurassic Park.

JotR No. 54 – World Cupcake: Quarter pounders
What a demonstration of the staying power of the Belgian waffle versus the energy giving properties of the American quarter pounder. And what a shame for JotR naming conventions that it was not a USA win and that imaginary victory didn't take place in the quarter-finals. Luckily, I don't give a stuff about facts and linear timelines, so this edition of the World Cupcake calorific guide to the tournament is discussing the quarter pounders.
Mmm, quarter pounders. This feast should help us forget the horrors of the last football-free 48 hours. Fifa could have at least arranged something for us to watch in that gap. A novelty version of football perhaps, featuring dogs or the Scottish or something. Anyway, the eight competitors are assembling around the tables. Will any be tactically naïve and fill up on bread? Or do we now have the cream of international football – cream which we will also pour liberally over those tasty quarter pounders? Who can say? These questions are entirely rhetorical. Let's stuff our faces…

IJS Radio: Top Ten - June 2014
It's July, but what does July actually mean and where does it come from? Here's a brief history to impress your friends with. If you had any.
July first came to prominence in July 1978. Up to that point, some people did wonder what the big gap between June and August was, but most didn't give it a second thought and spent their days in discotheques or participating in casual racism. It was a different time. A time of flares and dull orangey-brown wallpaper.

JotR No. 53 – World Cupcake: Second Course
It's the SECOND ROUND. I am not referring to the Second Round as the Round of 16, which has now become de rigueur these days. It's a description as unnecessary as me using the term de rigueur. There are bigger issues to get our teeth into, so I'm not suggesting England, like with the first three tournaments, boycotts the World Cup because of this. Of course, potentially no one would notice. Anyway, in World Cupcake terms we're talking about the Second Course. And that's official. After a First Course of World Cupcakes, the Second Course will consist of World Cupcakes.

JotR No. 52 – World Cupcake: Group Hipster
You've got to hold and give
But do it at the right time
You can be slow or fast
But you must get to the line
They'll always hit you and hurt you
Defend and attack
There's only one way to beat them
Get round the back
Not my words, but the words of John Barnes from the World Cup hymn World in Motion. For it is the night before World Cup, when all through the house, not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse. The wall charts were hung by the chimney with care, in hopes that Wayne Rooney soon would be there.
After this final Group H preview, no more talk, just action. And probably a little more talk over the next month.

A tree of somewhat macabre aspect - its coconut-sized fruit have hair-like fronds hanging down, suggesting decapitated heads dangling from the tree.
"Yeeah!" the old man shouted as he made a dramatic flurry with his chalk - the mounted knight now bearing a stylized lance as it bore down on the many-headed dragon before it.
A wonderous weapon bearing the power and grace of the elvish people…
A magical, multi-dimensional crystal that damages all it touches, even reality.
Not all magic is pretty, or fair. Some is cold and exploitive. This is that kind of magic.
The icy lands of Sagaris are cold and unforgiving, and the Frost Owl is a manifestation of the dangers of that frigid realm. Of all the fantastic beasts that roam the Sagarian tundra, the Frost Owl is the greatest threat to man.
The Walking Mountains of the lands of Eternal Ice
Medicinal Plants Real world list
Gredil the Leech was the best healer in Szridhar, but no-one went to him with minor ailments. All of his cures were disgusting, and usually involved some type of bizarre creature. Take for example the Spirit Leech.
An assortment of cures scattered to all ends of Strolen's domain!
An item to increase the comfort of the dreaded Cold Camp.

A flower from the gardens of the Divine…
Disagreements between the tribes are sometimes settled with Megamothoid battles, and during war they are almost always used.

A vast tome of knowlege that literally gives you the creeps…
Spare parts of the Fantasy sort.
Nooo!!! Don't… touch that….
"Tired of lugging about heavy quivers full of arrows?"
A beacon of brilliant white stone surrounded by black, clutching death..
Magic should have side effects, both expected and unexpected - fortuitous and deplorable. Expected side effects add anticipation, while unexpected ones increase the drama of the scene. The result can be comedic or dire, it dpends on which circumstances work best for your game.

Introducing Glacier National Park
To be really accurate, this 1350-sq-km park should be called 430 Glaciers National Park; the annual snowfall here can be as much as 23m. Because of the sheer mountain slopes, this is one of the world's most active avalanche areas. For this reason, skiing, caving and mountaineering are regulated; you must register with park wardens before venturing into the backcountry. Call for a daily avalanche report in season. Admission to this and Mt Revelstoke National Park (the two are administered jointly) is adult/child $8/4 per day.
Whether you travel by car, bus, trail or bicycle (more power to you), Rogers Pass will likely rank as one of the most beautiful mountain passes you'll ever traverse. Be sure to pause at the Hemlock Grove Trail, 54km west of Revelstoke, where a 400m boardwalk winds through an ancient hemlock rainforest.
Spend some time with the CPR dioramas at the informative Rogers Pass Centre, 72km east of Revelstoke. The center shows films about the park and organizes guided walks in summer. As a bonus, there's an excellent bookstore run by the Friends of Mt Revelstoke & Glacier National Parks.
Across from the center, the 50-room Glacier Park Lodge has a cafe, gas station and coin laundry.
Not far from here are the park's two campgrounds: Illecillewaet and Loop Brook. Both have running water and flush toilets.

Hawker Beechcraft King Air B100, Corpus Christi, Texas, Oct. 26, 2009–N729MS, registered to Mazak Properties, was destroyed and the private pilot and three passengers killed when the airplane crashed after encountering severe weather. Before departure, the pilot, who was operating under Part 91, received three weather briefings from an automated flight service station.

The US Airways flight that splashed down safely in the Hudson River drew renewed attention to the longstanding problem of birdstrikes. It's tempting to call the ditching the ultimate birdstrike event.
An FAA plan to consolidate all of the 84 National Weather Service (NWS) forecasters working in the nation's 21 ATC en route centers into two central forecasting stations has drawn spirited opposition from two unions, the National Weather Service Employees Organization (NWSEO) and the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (Natca).
Arinc is promoting its new onboard Internet (Oi) service for laptop computers here at the MEBA show (Stand No. 330). Launched in September for the commercial airliner market, Oi is also expected to appeal to business aircraft operators who want to provide online connections for their passengers.
Honeywell's IntuVue line of airborne weather radars makes its debut at this month's NBAA Convention in Orlando, Fla., as the rebranded extension of the company's RDR-4000 radar previously selected for the Airbus A380 and Gulfstream G650.
Honeywell has unveiled its IntuVue line of airborne weather radars as the rebranded extension of the company's RDR-4000 radar previously selected for the Airbus A380 and Gulfstream G650.
Arinc (Booth No. 2273) is promoting a new onboard Internet service for laptop computer users called Oi that the company launched last month for the commercial air transport market and is now targeting to business aircraft operators.
This month Raytheon begins integrated tests on its APY-10 inverse synthetic aperture radar for the Boeing P-8 Poseidon maritime patroller. The company will supply three more radars by year-end under the terms of the system design and development contract. It will test the sensor from a tower, before the first unit gets fitted to a P-8 for a first flight in 2010.
The National Convective Weather Forecast (NCWF), which combines National Weather Service (NWS) radar mosaics and cloud-to-ground lightning data into a
six-color hazardous weather depiction, is now available on the Internet and the NWS information networks.
RAYTHEON KING AIR C90, MUNSON, FLA., JUNE 25, 1999–According to the NTSB, poor judgment killed a pilot and his passenger when their aircraft came apart in flight during a midmorning journey up the west coast of Florida.

A recent New York Times article warned of the future dangers robots could pose to the humans who work alongside them. The article cited the 33 deaths robots caused in the industrial setting over the past 30 years. While any death is unfortunate, let's put that number into perspective. In the U.S. alone, there are 80 deaths due to auto accidents every day.
The real issue is not about the number of deaths robots have caused; rather, it's about helping the general…Continue

Growing to over $2m in annual recurring revenue with less than half a million dollars in funding is rare.

Imagine for a moment you're in the woods, trying to climb to the top of a nearby mountain -- only you've lost your way, and you're not sure where the mountain is. So you get the bright idea: simply walk uphill until you can't walk uphill any more. At that point you'll be at the top of the mountain, right?
The answer, of course, is perhaps, but probably not -- and in any case, the strategy of always walking uphill is an unquestionably poor technique for finding your way to the top of a…Continue

We are all good at reacting and responding, putting out fires, and crisis management. In addition, organizations large and small have learned how to be lean and agile, and how to best execute a strategy at a high level.

What do William Shakespeare and Led Zeppelin have in common? They both pinched much of their material from artists that came before them. The Bard, who added a few thousand original words to the English language and gave us our most unique phrases, was unabashed in his thievery of complete tracts from well-known poets and playwrights of his day. Most of his plays recycle stories from history and other literary works, and his stylistic flourishes are inspired by things that his contemporaries…Continue

The industrial revolution in the late nineteenth century ushered in the industrial age, and the digital revolution in the mid twentieth century…Continue

Spreadsheets are ubiquitous, heavily relied on by organizations to manage data and make critical business decisions. Spreadsheets are an excellent tool for independent analysis.

Furthermore, spreadsheets tend to have limited scalability beyond the desk and the fidelity is constrained by the organization's ability to invest in additional technology capability to manage its reliability.
