This month's issue looks at the midterm legislative races and statewide ballot measures, the role of primaries, the value of art in school, perspective from two of the nation's top pollsters and much more.
Current Issue
Research shows that successful high schools provide rigorous academic coursework, relevant learning opportunities, and meaningful relationships with instructors who are qualified to help students achieve high standards.
Offering high-quality, college-level learning experiences in high school can increase the academic quality and rigor of high school classes, lower the need for postsecondary remediation, reduce the high school dropout rate, reduce student costs of attending postsecondary institutions, and prepare young people to succeed in college.
Proficiency in reading by the end of third grade is a critical milestone that enables students to shift from learning to read to reading to learn. Students who do not meet this milestone often falter in the later grades and drop out before earning a high school diploma.
The costs of dropping out are high—to the student, the states and the nation. State legislatures play critical roles in holding schools and districts accountable, setting expectations and raising public awareness of the problem.

Restaurants in Albuquerque, Santa Fe and Northern New Mexico, searchable by cuisine and location, with ratings and reviews. Get educated before you eat!
Gedunk Food Truck
Albuquerque NM
Cuisine: Food Truck, Dessert, American
The word "gedunk" is a Navy term refering to snack foods and the places they are sold. Fitting, then, for veteran Chef Patrick Humpf's food truck to bear the name. The menu changes often, and features everyday food with a gourmet twist. One Wednesday, you might partake in a rich dessert like their tasty Boston creme cake, while the next week could bring you face to face with chocolate-piñon-coffee rubbed pork tacos.

This is my first time on an Amtrak train. My wife and I would be travelling from Wilmington, Delaware to BWI (Baltimore) airport on an Amtrak Regional and again from Union Station Washington DC to Wilmington, Delaware. Both are regional trains. We have one large bag with about 32" tall. We can carry-on 2 handbag for each of us with max size 28". Would I be able to carry the big bag? Can the conductor deny carrying the big bag on board.
large baggage on Amtrak Regional

I have traveled many times on various regionals and have never had a problem with bringing my large suitcase. Most single-level regional cars don't have dedicated baggage racks but they do have spaces between bulkheads and seats and, since most regional traffic is local, I have never had a problem finding space for my suitcase there.
Report Abuse
You will be able to bring it onboard. There is room in the front of the car for large bags if you cannot fit it above your seat in the luggage rack.
Report Abuse
There is no way a 32" bag would fit on the overhead - and I'm not sure about a 28". I've only done weekend sacks or 22" carry-ons - and those fit fine.
A huge bag is likely to fall down and brain someone. Definitely needs to go at the end of the car.
Report Abuse
Those luggage racks above the seats on regionals are fairly WIDE and even though one of that larger bag's dimensions is 32" that doesn't mean it won't fit and in fact it probably WILL fit if you lie the 32" edge on its side. Regardless, the AMTRAK people don't really CARE how big your bags are if you can carry them on. Some people actually leave them on the floor in front of seats when the trains aren't full.
Report Abuse
Amtrak staff is much more concerned with the weight of your bag instead of the size. If your bag weighs more than 40 lb. please leave it on the floor instead of trying to put it overhead.
The limit is 50 lb. for any one bag. My first trip on Amtrak was from WAS to NYP in Oct. 2001 with one bag in the 40-45 lb. range. I was traveling on a 30 day Rail Pass.
Report Abuse
There's usually no problem with larger bags. We take a couple that are several inches over the limits when we go long distances and never had a problem. We did see and issue in Atlanta once...not with us but some other couple had bags that were over the 50 pound limit. The baggage guy made them buy a shipping box and move stuff into it to get below 50 lbs...but this was checked baggage not carry on.
You won't have a problem

According to a September 21 report from the Associated Press, a top official at French oil major Total SA warned that a proposal to overhaul Nigeria's oil industry would hobble foreign investment, just as the firm prepares to bring a major offshore field into production. Analysts said the petroleum bill would sharply reduce the profits of foreign oil companies like Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp., Royal Dutch Shell PLC and Total, all of whom have subsidiaries operating oil fields in Nigeria. Government officials said the bill would allow more oil money to return to Nigeria's people. The bill also would require the government-run Nigerian National Petroleum Corp., which partners with all foreign oil firms, to seek profits like a private business and not rely on government subsidies.

Silver PlaqueSilver PlaqueMy prized silver plaque in its perfect frameSits gathering dust above my mantel.It sits ther truly yet it gives me shame.It wastes away like a dead mare's cantle.It could be much better; it could be gold.I searched for this and gave up everything,But I had it and with it I'd grow old.Its hidden secret'd smart like a bee's sting.After one long hardship, I saw the truth:My new, more precious trophy was a fake.I mourned all night long in a small, gray booth.My mind thought: "How could you make this mistake?" If I only learn one truth let it be: Under gold is bronze. That's no cause for glee.

Only to hope that I live.' Maru closed his eyes and braced himself. Nothing happened. All was silent. Maru opened his eyes. Charp was hovering, motionless, in midair. Then he fell to the ground, laughing histerically. Maru was so angry that he took his scarf off. "You little!" he said, drawing his weapon. Charp looked up and saw the double blade. He jumped back. "Careful!" Maru didn't respond."Remember? Broke!" Maru did."Do that again and you die... I don't care if I do too," he said, reffering to his weapon's current faultiness."Go," Charp responded fearfully. Maru nodded."Yea, let's go." They walked through entrance of the cave.

Unfortunately, the trees above blocked out most of the snow. "Maru, come this way," some unknown voice whispered into his ear. Maru whipped out his pitchfork, stabbed backwards, just above his shoulder and flicked the switch on impact. He brought his weapon in front of him to see if he'd killed anything. Skewered on one of the twin knives of his pitchfork, fried by the electricity sent through it, lay a limp creature. It was small, furry, round and black. It had small bat-like wings and sharply glowing, red eyes. "A Shadow Doku. Guess this place isn't as peaceful as I thought. Better be on my guard.""Screeeeee!!!" Maru fell to his knees and covered his ears. 'An erthae? Here?' he though. He got up and followed the noise to the source which was tough because it was so loud and raucuous. The trees ar

A Crazy Demo Showing The Ilixi Compositor In DirectFB 1.6
Published on 18 April 2012 03:19 PM EDT

12 Comments
While the
DirectFB 1.6
release has suffered multiple delays since its original slated release for January, DirectFB 1.6 looks to be finally working its way out the door with its many new features.
Features of DirectFB 1.6 have been talked about in
DirectFB 1.6 Release Is Imminent With New Features
Early-Stage DirectFB For Android Devices
, and
DirectFB 1.6 Is Coming Soon While 2.0 Is Far-Out
. Check out those articles for details on the interesting DirectFB 1.6 feature-set.
The latest plan for the 1.6 release was on the 6th of April, which was announced on the 1st of April, but that didn't pan out. However, last weekend the DirectFB developers did put out an interesting demo showing what's possible with the DirectFB 1.6 pre-release.
This demo, which was live-captured on its X11 back-end, is showing DirectFB's Ilixi compositor with several applications running. What's interesting is that using software acceleration they've managed decent performance with penguins running around 50Hz constantly even while dealing with other applications. The Ilixi compositing is tear-free and are running "maximum speed asynchrously synchronized with the compositor." This was while doing up to ten DirectFB processes on an Intel quad-core desktop. The developers claim that even for an embedded device with hardware acceleration a 1GHz sinngle-core CPU will be more than enough.
The WebM video demo along with other details can be found from
this DirectFB.org page

The Marshall Mathers LP 2
Eminem is "Right back up in ya wit Dr. Dre," but this time he's also enlisted the help of legendary bearded producer Rick Rubin; and he may be clean and sober now, but the angry blonde is as raunchy and raucous as ever as he continues to drop murderous bars and rock various tempos. Though he displays more versatility in his features, teaming up with artists like Jamie N Commons, Sia and fun's Nate Ruess, the deadly combination of lyricism, humor and introspection is at its finest on his eighth studio album.

Faith Community Nursing
Future of Nursing Initiative
MARY ANNE HUGHES, 38, arrives at your ED complaining of sudden onset of palpitations. She's alert and oriented and she says her symptoms started about an hour ago as she walked her dog. Although she denies chest pain and shortness of breath, she says her heart feels like it's racing. Her skin is warm and dry, but she appears slightly pale and somewhat anxious.
You perform a rapid, focused physical assessment. Ms. Hughes' vital signs are: BP, 130/80; respirations, 20; and SpO2, 96% on room air. Her pulse is 160 and regular, her lungs are clear, and she has no carotid bruits. You attach Ms. Hughes to a cardiac monitor, which shows a narrow-complex tachycardia. You quickly administer oxygen via nasal cannula at 2 liters/minute, establish a peripheral I.V. line, obtain a 12-lead ECG, and call for a chest X-ray and lab work, including serum electrolytes.
Ms. Hughes' tachycardia doesn't appear to be compensatory: She has no pain or fever, and no signs or symptoms of infection or electrolyte disturbances that would cause her tachycardia. Her chest X-ray is unremarkable. Most important, she's not experiencing any serious signs or symptoms, such as hypotension, shortness of breath, or chest pain, as a result of her rapid heart rate.
Her problem-focused history reveals that Ms. Hughes doesn't have diabetes, coronary artery disease, thyroid disease, or a history of cardiac arrhythmias or substance abuse. Her only medications are oral contraceptives and multivitamins, and she hasn't consumed any caffeine recently.
The ECG shows a narrow-complex tachycardia, which is almost always supraventricular in origin and is characterized by a narrow QRS complex on ECG and a rapid ventricular response, typically between 140 and 220 beats/minute. The P wave may be buried in the preceding T wave and not be visible, or if present, may look different than a P wave that originates from the sinus node. The PR interval typically can't be measured because of the rapid rate, but if it's present, it may be normal.
Because Ms. Hughes is stable, the physician attempts to convert the tachycardia by performing right carotid sinus massage. Vagal maneuvers also can help determine the type of tachycardia by slowing the heart rate.
If vagal maneuvers fail to convert the arrhythmia, adenosine is the drug of choice. In nearly 90% of narrow-complex tachycardias, adenosine restores sinus rhythm by slowing conduction through the atrioventricular (AV) node and interrupting AV nodal reentry pathways. Adenosine effectively terminates supraventricular tachycardia (SVT) caused by reentry involving the AV node or sinus node.
Give an initial 6-mg dose by rapid I.V. bolus over 1 to 3 seconds at the port nearest the catheter hub, followed by a rapid 20-ml bolus of preservative-free 0.9% sodium chloride solution. Tell Ms. Hughes that she may feel flushed, or may feel chest pain or tightness while the medication is being administered.
If the rhythm doesn't convert in 1 to 2 minutes, give a 12-mg dose of adenosine. A second 12-mg dose may be given 1 to 2 minutes after the first 12-mg dose if the rhythm still fails to convert.
Adenosine may cause transient sinus bradycardia, ventricular ectopy, or asystole after the SVT is terminated. The drug is contraindicated in tachycardia induced by poison or drugs and in patients taking dipyridamole, and is less effective in patients taking theophylline.
Ms. Hughes' tachycardia is converted after one dose of adenosine, and she's discharged home the same day. She'll have a follow-up appointment with her primary care provider and may have a cardiology consult.

Braid, are true. Replying to chatter on the Steam forum [Via Destructoid], Blow revealed documentation for the editor would be released following an update to the game (which went live late yesterday) and "when more people have played/finished the game."
In the meantime, initial editor information has been posted by Blow on the official Braid blog to help gamers get started.The Braid PC level editor will allow gamers to extend the life of the puzzle title, with the potential to add "up to [another] full game," Blow wrote. The developer/survivalist also revealed future plans to add image importing from Photoshop into the game, allowing aspiring Braid designers to put their own graphics into their creations.

PID Radio 11/8/14: Balkanizing the Nation
in Paranormal
THE AMERICAN public voted this week and swept the Republican Party to its largest majority in Congress since World War II. Exit polls showed that Democrats lost big with white voters this time around, which indicates that the country is beginning to divide politically along racial lines. This, of course, plays into the hands of the elites who will gladly keep up fighting one another so we don't pay attention to the people behind the curtain.
But the big story this week was the suicide of Brittany Maynard, a 29-year-old woman suffering from terminal brain cancer. Her death was facilitated by the assisted suicide law in Oregon and used by activists to promote their goals of legalizing death as a prescription for perceived suffering, and getting the government to assist.
Also: Ferguson, Missouri prepares for more rioting; torture death of 3-year-old in Pennsylvania; cannibal killer in Wales; mysterious incest ring death investigated in Alabama; and Ebola statistics don't add up.
Derek and Sharon will be a virtual part of the Prophecy Forum conference in Dublin, Ohio on Saturday, November 15th. They will participate in a round table discussion of transhumanism at 3:00 PM Central (UTC -6). It will be streamed live to the Internet. Click here for information and to register.

Gilbert House Fellowship #7: Job 6-10
in Paranormal
WE CONTINUE of study of the Book of Job with chapter 6 as Job responds to the rebuke of Eliphaz the Temanite and hears from Bildad the Shuhite. We begin to understand the depth of Job's despair as he declares that God has already judged and found him guilty so that his only possible release is the ultimate darkness of Sheol.
Join us every Sunday morning at 10:30 AM (UTC -6) or catch up in the archives at www.BlogTalkRadio.com/PIDradio.
VFTB at Pikes Peak: Gary Stearman – Prophecy and Genetics
in Paranormal
THE STORY of the Bible is essentially a struggle over the integrity of the human genome. Gary Stearman explains that the spiritual war between the Fallen and Yahweh is a long, bitter conflict that stems from their attempt to exterminate the bloodline of the Messiah.
VFTB 201: DMT – The Soul of Prophecy?
in Paranormal
DURING RESEARCH into the effects of the psychedelic drug DMT in the early and mid '90s, Dr. Rick Strassman made a startling discovery: The experiences of the volunteers in his studies bore many similarities to the experiences of the Hebrew prophets.
Gilbert House Fellowship #6 - Job 1-5
in Paranormal
Join us as we dig into the history and the mystery behind Job and Satan's desire to test him.
We work through the first five chapters of Job: His history, the misfortune he endures at the hands of the Satan, the Divine Council setting in heaven, Job's lament and desire to curse the day of his birth, and the first rebuke from the three friends who come to see him in his time of trouble as Eliphaz the Temanite, after receiving a message in a frightening dream (that reads like a description of sleep paralysis), rebukes Job for not simply accepting God's judgment for something Job must have done wrong.
VFTB 202: The Shinar Directive
in Paranormal
WE ONLY know about Nimrod from a few verses in the book of Genesis, but he has cast a very long shadow across history. Dr. Michael Lake discusses his new book The Shinar Directive: Preparing the Way for the Son of Perdition.
VFTB at Pikes Peak: Dr. Thomas Ice - The New Antisemitism
in Paranormal
THE MORE things change, the more they stay the same. From the Old Testament through the present day, much of Jewish history is of surviving repeated attempts at extermination. Dr. Thomas Ice, Executive Director of the Pre-Trib Research Center, explains why the world has been aligned against Israel almost since the very beginning of its history.
Also: The impact of Brittany Maynard. See the Human Exceptionalism blog by Wesley J. Smith at National Review Online.
This interview is one of more than a dozen that will be included on the official DVD set from the Pikes Peak Prophecy Summit. See Prophecy in the News for more information.
VFTB at Pikes Peak: Hitler and the Shroud of Turin
in Paranormal
ANYONE WHO has watched the Indiana Jones movies knows that Hitler tried to find the Ark of the Covenant and the Holy Grail. But did you know that he also had designs on the Shroud of Turin?

VFTB at Pikes Peak: Russ Dizdar - Satan is Real
in Paranormal
SATAN IS described in the Bible as a "a roaring lion looking for someone to devour." Yet surveys show that a majority of American Christians — people who self-identify as "born again" — don't believe that Satan / Lucifer / Helel ben Shachar (the Hebrew name translated into Latin as "Lucifer") actually exists.
Russ Dizdar of Shatter the Darkness Ministries and host of theRagged Edge radio program begs to differ. His work as a deliverance minister has brought him into contact with many people under the influence and control of demons. In this interview recorded at the 2014 Pikes Peak Prophecy Summit he described the process of creating a "multiple" — essentially a demonically charged Manchurian Candidate — and how the existence of this dark underground is a legacy of Adolf Hitler and the Nazis.
Gilbert House Fellowship #1: Genesis 1-2
in Paranormal
We begin our new virtual house fellowship at the beginning — as in, "In the beginning…"
Our study today looks at Genesis 1 and 2, the first seven days of creation. We discuss the "gap theory", what lurked beneath the face of the waters, God's declaration of light, and the creation of all living things on Earth.
Next week, the plot thickens as the serpent — more properly, the nacash — arrives on the scene to set in motion a supernatural war that continues to this day.
Join us for our live video webcast each Sunday morning at 10:30 AM Central (US) Time (GMT -5) at www.GilbertHouse.org, and join the discussion at the Gilbert House Forum. You can also join our online discussion of world news and events at the PID Radio Cafe, a virtual gathering at Facebook.
P.I.D. Radio 10/25/14: Reading the Signs
in Paranormal
AS WE approach Halloween, events in the news are becoming even more frightening than a well-produced haunted house: Another doctor tests positive for Ebola, and the head of CIDRAP (Center for Infectiious Disease Research and Policy) publicly worries that this is more likely to spread through aerosols than we've been told. Meanwhile, another top scientist suggests that mutations are making it more contagious. Are things really that bad or does somebody want us to, like the announcer says, be afraid -- be very afraid?
Also: The overpopulation myth, the virus as an organic hacker, and The Bell Curve and its relevance to transhumanism.

Immigration reform takes off in Senate
Send this to a friend
- Staff Baltimore Business Journal
Democratic and Republican senators took to the stage in the U.S.Senate Studio to unveil their principles for immigration reform. There have been past bipartisan efforts for reform, but as The Business Journals reported, this one may actually succeed.
The current reform package is supported by liberals and conservatives, as well as by business and labor, reported The Business Journals, which noted that the bill's chances of passing are better in the Senate than in the Republican-controlled House, where there's still a lot of opposition to granting legal status to 11 million foreigners who entered the country illegally or overstayed temporary visas.

Anonymous - 16 months ago Have some respect - some people have fetishes that are 'weirder' than usual; just because it's not up your street doesn't mean it's wrong, neither does it mean that the people that like this kind of stuff have 'problems'. Porn is porn and people can't help what turns them on, watching mainstream porn doesn't make you any better. I'm not into this stuff at all, the thought of engaging in something like this does make me feel a little bit queasy, but I still have respect for other people and their personal fantasies.

Celeritas Eos ~ RequiemJun 7, 2014 Demo 3 comments
The second demo for Celeritas Eos "Requiem" is now available. Requiem gives players the opportunity to play Equilibrium of the Night from the beginning...
Celeritas Eos is an open world dark fantasy horror survival role playing game set on a fictional world with a low fantasy setting. As Lucia, the player will journey to the land of Eridanus to fight at the heart of the world's problems but is this journey of her own free will or of a diabolical design?
With Equilibrium of the Night, players can expect an amazing role-playing experience which gives them complete freedom in what they do. The mod features an open ended non-linear design in terms of exploration and quest completion harkening back to classic RPG's such as Ultima, Baldur's Gate and the original Fallout games. Build a party of companions of your choosing, be a righteous knight, pillage towns and villages for gold or simply explore the world seeking treasure, how you play the mod is entirely up to you and nearly every quest has multiple solutions and outcomes.
"Remove your shackles, you pitiable formation of flesh and bone and pursue me to learn truth..."
1 comment by KnightofEquulei on Jul 4th, 2014
After the release of two demos for Celeritas Eos, we have yet more good news to share...
After consideration, the team have decided to release a public beta of Celeritas Eos.
This public beta will contain the majority of the mod's content. The "Requiem" demo section will have implemented the feedback of players so expect more content and significant changes to that part of the mod. Here's what's to expect with the beta:
In summary: You'll have access now to 80% of the world's content with most of the mod's quests finished. Exploration is seamless (as it should be as this is all one module). Feedback will be needed as it will change the final version of the mod. This beta will not contain the ending section of the mod however but expect 15-20 hours of gameplay (maybe more depending on your play-style). The alpha testers will also be delighted to hear that Act 2 will be completely different to what they once experienced a year ago so there's reason for everyone to play the beta.
Now I know what some of you might be thinking: "Why not just release the complete mod in sections?" and the answer is that more work is still needed and feedback is required to see what the majority want. For example, from feedback, we've had someone saying the mod's encounters were too challenging for them and others saying they enjoyed the encounters. User rebby-ra also set up a poll on racism in the mod because some didn't like it but the poll shows (currently) that the majority agree that it fits the narrative.
From this type of interaction and feedback from players, we can decide what the majority enjoy and want more of and develop the final product to implement more of what people desire.
From another stand-point, releasing the finished mod in sections like this also requires more work on variables and scripting to make sure choices carry over to each module and asides from the "Requiem demo" most of the world is connected in a way that makes sense to fit into one mod. I also want the mod to feel non-linear, not just in questing but in exploration too and having it as one complete mod will be better suited for that.
Before we continue, I'd also like to remind people to try out the Requiem demo and leave their feedback for it. Without sounding rude, half of you did ask for it and some of you even doubted the mod's existence and now that we have something out, you have all suddenly gone so quiet. Guys, we need your feedback! When the final mod releases and we get complaints like, "there was not enough content of Lord Fire, you guys suck!" then you only have yourselves to blame for not telling us during this stage!
But seriously, over 300 people have downloaded the demo and only several people currently have given us feedback. Let's change that! If you've played the demo then head over to our feedback thread and tell us what you loved, hated etc. It will lead to a better final product.
When to expect to the beta? Later this year but I have no firm ETA on it yet.
On another important matter: Celeritas Eos will no longer be a four-module long series. It has taken us almost two years to finish Equilibrium of the Night and subsequent mods in the series would have to be bigger and better requiring far more time, work and dedication. I'm personally getting tired of modding and wouldn't see myself with the ability to dedicate a further several years to the completion of a series of epic open world mods. This isn't bad news however as this was never set in stone and this also allows for more solid endings for EoTN.
To end this report, I'd just like to thank you guys for remaining patient and I'll like to thank all of you who have provided feedback. Rest assured, the waiting will be paid off in the end.
The second demo for Celeritas Eos "Requiem" is now available. Requiem gives players the opportunity to play Equilibrium of the Night from the beginning...
Try out one of Celeritas Eos's hub cities "Avue". Shows off a number of major sidequests as well as our unique AI and procedural generation features...
Nope nothing fake about this mod. I'm sure wombaciur, summer-knight and the others who beta tested can confirm this (along with the 100 people who broke into the "beta" unbeknownst to me until it was too late :X ). I suppose the public demo won't stop "guests" from constantly speculating this is a cancelled or fake mod either. Months of no news is common for mods and games.
Gonna vouch for this since I was one of those 100 (I blame google for letting me in). There certainly is a game being made and it does exist.
I wanted to make a more formal announcement, but I've been short on time so I'll just say it: We will be releasing a playable public demo of this mod for everyone. Expect it to drop in about two months. I'll explain more in a news article later.
"Stay tuned!"
Two+ weeks later, not a word...
A lot has been revealed about the mod ever since its announcement back in 2012. Besides I'm sure ABJECT_SELF has much going IRL. I had not anticipated how much time must go into a mod to perfect it and balance it and much has already been revealed about the mod so we need to be careful with anything else we reveal.
Besides you'll have a huge demo of the mod in two months, hopefully that'll satiate everyone's desire for the mod for a while and reveal its quality too :)
The demo will be one of the major cities. As you (an alpha tester) know, the cities were relatively empty in alpha but have now been filled up with encounters, a crime system, quests and plenty of explorable places and characters to talk too.
The demo will be public unlike the alpha.
Another alpha/beta/zeta test? ;)
Might be, might be. I might also be an tangerine so don't take my word as gospel truth ;)
we have been staying tuned since the announcement of the module

USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) returned Feb. 14 after completing two days of sea trials following a nearly seven-month Planned Incremental Availability (PIA) at the Norfolk Naval Shipyard in Portsmouth, Va.
Truman completed her shipyard stay on schedule and on budget, returning to Norfolk with numerous repairs, improvements and upgrades to ship's systems and the shipboard environment.
"For the shipyard work, there was approximately a five percent savings on what was budgeted," said Matt Durkin, the shipyard's project superintendent for Truman. "We set goals for ourselves during the planning concerning quality, safety, cost and schedule. We actually met or exceeded all those goals."
Completing PIA on schedule is necessary to ensure the ship meets her operational commitments, said Capt. Herman Shelanski, Truman's commanding officer.
"The fact that we were able to finish a bit ahead of schedule is really nice," Shelanski said. "Every at sea period has to be accomplished on schedule, and you can't take time out of that schedule to do major maintenance."
Truman underwent a host of repairs, but the largest project was a Dual Media Discharge (DMD). This is a time-consuming maintenance on the propulsion plant that occurs once every ten years and is vital to the ship's readiness.
"We were able to accomplish it in about four months, which was really record setting," Shelanski said. "The last ship to do it took about nine months."
Truman also completed the reactor training modification, making Truman the third nuclear powered aircraft carrier to do so. Contractors prepared a new training space for Reactor department personnel and completely revamped Media department spaces.
Besides operational maintenance and upgrades, Sailors completed many projects that enhanced the ship cosmetically. Sailors replaced decking, paint, lagging, doors and hatches throughout the ship, and completely rehabilitated many berthing spaces. These projects will improve the quality of life for the crew and help boost morale, said Durkin.
One of Truman's major focuses throughout the PIA was keeping Sailors trained and ready for an underway. The importance of keeping up with training is learned from the last yard period, and it proved to be this PIA's greatest accomplishment.
"The biggest victory was that when we went into the shipyard, we decided we were not going to lose our focus on training and being Sailors, and we were very successful at that," Shelanski said. "After completing this underway period, I can see that there's a little more we have to do to get up to fighting speed, but on the whole, the crew has great spirit and great morale and is ready to get the ship ready for deployment."
The culmination of the shipyard period was a two-day sea trial, which the ship performed while transiting back to Norfolk. Sea trials allow the command to assess the ship's state of readiness, get Sailors back into an underway mindset and ensure maintenance was properly completed in the yards. The sea trial was special because it marked the last underway for Capt. Shelanski as commanding officer of Truman. Shelanski will relinquish command of Truman Feb. 18.
