Beechcraft emerges from bankruptcy protectionBy ROXANA HEGEMAN

Kansas plane maker Beechcraft, formerly Hawker Beechcraft, emerged Tuesday from bankruptcy protection freed from much of its debt and its unprofitable business jet operations.
Its now focused on its turboprop and piston aircraft and its military work but the country faces potentially massive defense cutbacks.
The prospect of the governments defense retrenchment comes at a crucial time for the Wichita, Kan., company, as it competes for a $354 million U.S. government contract to build aircraft for use in Afghanistan. The high-stakes light air support contract could ultimately be worth nearly $1 billion, depending on future orders.
The single-engine turboprop, dubbed the AT-6, that Beechcraft proposes to build under the LAS contract is crucial for the company. It hasnt been put into production yet, but CEO Bill Boisture told The Associated Press Tuesday that building such a plane is a major objective this year. Winning a customer to launch production is one of the top three goals to get Beechcraft off on the right foot in 2013, the company told its employees.
We have good prospects for that happening, Boisture, who had been chairman of Hawker Beechcraft, said in an interview at the companys Wichita headquarters. If the LAS contract is not awarded, or we dont win for some reason, we would have to take some small, interim steps until we have achieved a launch customer. But we will go forward with the program.
Beechcraft is exiting bankruptcy with roughly 5,400 employees worldwide, including about 3,300 at its headquarters. Boisture said he anticipated those employment levels to remain stable.
The company has long said the AT-6 government contract would generate about 700 jobs, but on Tuesday Boisture said it is not useful to speculate about whether all those would be additional jobs if the company won the LAS contract, or whether there would be more layoffs if the company did not get it.
In addition to the getting a launch customer for the AT-6 program, employees gathered at companywide meetings on Tuesday were told that Beechcrafts other major objectives included making sure that the world markets know that Beechcraft is back that it is well-capitalized, soundly financed and able to develop new products and re-establishing its sales network for the business and general aviation planes it still builds.
The renamed companys formal announcement that it is exiting bankruptcy comes two weeks after its reorganization plan was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in the Southern District of New York. Beechcrafts debt was cut and creditors agreed to $600 million in exit financing. That could help it to better compete in the special mission, trainer and light attack airplane markets while continuing its turboprop and piston airplane manufacturing.
Beechcrafts other defense products include the T-6 military trainer, with a worldwide fleet of nearly 800 aircraft.
Beechcraft no longer builds business jets. It has shed their unprofitable manufacturing operations and is in talks with several interested parties in the sale of the rest of the Hawker business jet assets, which include intellectual property, tools, inventory and facilities. Boisture declined to identify any potential buyers.
Hawker Beechcraft, owned by Canadian investment firm Onex Partners and Goldman Sachs Group Inc.s private equity arm, filed for bankruptcy reorganization in May. Goldman and Onex kept a minor equity stake in the reorganized company. Hawker Beechcrafts new owners are creditors who swapped debt owed to them for equity stakes in Beechcraft.
Hawker Beechcraft struggled with the sluggish business jet market more than other plane makers because it was purchased in 2007 in a debt-heavy deal just before the general aviation market tanked. Its bankruptcy involved 18 entities and $2.4 billion in debt. In addition to its Wichita headquarters, the company has factories in Little Rock, Ark.; the United Kingdom; and Mexico, as well as more than 90 service centers worldwide.
Beechcraft traces its Kansas roots to Beech Aircraft Corp., a company founded by Walter and Olive Ann Beech that began making aircraft in the 1930s.MORE IN National / World BusinessBRUSSELS European Union institutions are piling pressure on Google to change the way it...

|Question for readers
I almost always read books before I watch a movie/TV show based on that book. I own the books but didn't read them first in this case. My question is: For those of you that have read them, does it spoil the show in any way, or are you just as entertained? I would like to read them this summer, but GOT is probably my favorite show. I generally prefer books to movies/shows, but I'm glad in this case that I didn't know what was coming last night. Thoughts?

Without ranking every team, I would hate to be a Sparty fan. Sure, every once in a while they will field a good team. But it would just suck to always be little brother! You would have to live with the knowledge that you're never going to be the best college team in your state. At least OSU, Wisconsin, PSU, and Nebraska are going to always be the prestigious college team in their states. A lot of MSU fans I know are more of the casual fan type. They let me hear about their dominance during our lean years, but don't seem to care much the other 90% of the time. I couldn't handle that. Or maybe I could. I AM a Lions fan...

ArcheAge is a free to play massively multiplayer online role play game, being published in the west by Trion, in terms of setting and core combat it's a fairly standard hotkey mmorpg, however what sets it apart is the mix of other features in the game that gives it a bit more of a sandbox feel then just a combat grind to level 50. The games multi-monitor support is very good, resolution options are available and the game is horizontal plus be default, most of the fixed location UI is centred however there is some that is spanned, and a good portion of the HUD can also be moved around to suit your own preferences.
The video itself is part analysis, part walkthough and part waffle, feel free to like or dislike my video and comment are always welcome too.
While this video can be watched on any screen it has been encoded to look best on a multi-monitor system, so if your running such a system, then select 4K quality from the drop down box and watch in fullscreen.
Some screenshots can be found here.

So last night (unoriginal, although I did plan on doing this during the first beta when it would of been original but the SLI bug stopped me) anyway, last night I took a cruise across the Mini USA. From the easterly most point on the map to the point on the west coast that was the furthest away from it. The journey was 88 Miles or about 142 KM, it took me around 44 minutes from pulling away from the east coast to parking on the west, with an average speed of 120 MPH, or 193KPH.
Video below was recorded from a resolution of 5040x1050, and processed down to a resolution of 4032x840. If you have a triple monitor setup yourself, set the quality to 4K (assuming your network can handle it) and fullscreen for the best viewing quality, if your running a single monitor, best to watch at 1080p, ether in fullscreen or on YouTube in Cinema mode. Otherwise I hope you like my selection of OC Remix music, track list is below the video.

Firefall is a Massive Multiplayer Online Shooter, you play the roll of an ARES pilot and control a battleframe, which is basically an exoskeleton that has a jetpack, and you run, jump and fly around shooting things in first or third person. The game has great multi-monitor support, it will pickup your resolution automatically, the game runs horizontal plus by default and it has FoV options. The HUD is also centred by default and can repositioned and customised to your liking.

Kerbal Space Program is a sandbox rocket science simulators, basically just you build massive rockets and try and to make them fly, the game is currently still in early access however it is well on it's way. As a Unity engine game the multi-monitor support is good, my resolution was available from launch and the game runs horizontal plus. Only downside is the HUD is spanned, and while that's not to much of an issue in the vehicle hanger it is when flying.

GRID Autosport the next racing game from Codemasters that comes out a little over a year after GRID 2, it's been developed with feedback from fans of the GRID series and racing games in general and as a result plays a lot more like the original GRID. The game itself has great multi-monitor support, multi-monitor resolutions are available by default, with my desktop resolution being selected on launch, and the game renders horizontal plus. Also all of the HUD and UI is also centred and correctly scaled.

Watch_Dogs is an open world action RPG, along the same sort of lines as GTA and Saints Row, you play Aidan Pearce a vigilantly hacker of sorts, fighting crime while trying to find out who ordered a hit on your family. The game has bad multi-monitor support out the box, while it will load the the correct resolution, the game is vertical minus, cutting off the top and bottom 1/3rd of the screens, the HUD is also stretched and is excessively large and in some places unusable. HaYDeN has released a fix for the FoV issue however at time of recording the HUD hasn't been fixed yet and is still a problem.

WildStar is a mmorpg with a futuristic setting and a cartoon aesthetic, it has a unique active combat system that is not only highly mobile but telegraphic the area of effect for every attack, this leads to some interesting attack pattens that take skill and memorization to avoid. The game has decent multi-monitor support, my resolution was available from launch and the game runs horizontal plus. Most of the UI is correctly scaled and some of the more important elements can be moved around. Unfortunately the games performance isn't quite there yet, leading to drops in frame rate, there is also currently no SLI support.
Some screenshots can be found here later today.

Dark Souls II is a punishing action RPG where you take the place of an undead trying to get your humanity back, and in the process you overcome extortionately powerful creatures and monsters, and you will die, many, many times. The game will run at triple-monitor resolutions by default, however the rendering is locked to a 16:9 aspect ratio. Fortunately HaYDeN has release a fix less then 24 hours after the game launched, the fix can be found here: http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=63&t=24098

I typically make videos having a look at how a game handle a triple-monitor setup and also giving a basic walkthough for the games systems and mechanics. However I can only really release those videos when I have a new game to play and that actually works on a triple-monitor setup, this sometimes leaves me without any videos for weeks on end.
So this year I wanted to make sure I had at least 1 video every week, so I needed some sort of filler content to fill in the quiet weeks, so basically I needed some sort of lets play series. However my style of commentary doesn't work well for a typically lets play, what I needed was a game that I could play, that would challenge me, and be complex enough so that I can explain the mechanics of the fight. Fortunately I have such a game, and it's one I like a lot, unfortunately it's a Wii U game but nvm, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate was the game I picked.
So the filler videos below are my attempts to run G-Rank (G-Rank is basically the highest level of difficulty) online quests designed for 2-4 people, on my own, so hopefully you'll find them ether entertaining and / or informative :)

Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance is a spectacle fighter with a heavy emphasise on the spectacle, you play as Raiden, a cyborg ninja, and must slice your way though all manor of other cyborgs and robots in your quest for revenge. The games default multi-monitor support is almost none existent, it basically allowed the resolution to run but letter boxed to a 16:9 aspect ratio. However after a lot of work HaYDeN has managed to fix the game and it is now no longer letter boxed, is horizontal plus, and he has managed to centre most of the UI and HUD.

What's Up With Big Data Ethics?
Insights from a business executive and law professor
by Jonathan H. King & Neil M. Richards
If you develop software or manage databases, you're probably at the point now where the phrase "Big Data" makes you roll your eyes. Yes, it's hyped quite a lot these days. But, overexposed or not, the Big Data revolution raises a bunch of ethical issues related to privacy, confidentiality, transparency and identity. Who owns all that data that you're analyzing? Are there limits to what kinds of inferences you can make, or what decisions can be made about people based on those inferences? Perhaps you've wondered about this yourself.
We're obsessed by these questions. We're a business executive and a law professor who've written about this question a lot, but our audience is usually lawyers. But because engineers are the ones who confront these questions on a daily basis, we think it's essential to talk about these issues in the context of software development.
While there's nothing particularly new about the analytics conducted in big data, the scale and ease with which it can all be done today changes the ethical framework of data analysis. Developers today can tap into remarkably varied and far-flung data sources. Just a few years ago, this kind of access would have been hard to imagine. The problem is that our ability to reveal patterns and new knowledge from previously unexamined troves of data is moving faster than our current legal and ethical guidelines can manage. We can now do things that were impossible a few years ago, and we've driven off the existing ethical and legal maps. If we fail to preserve the values we care about in our new digital society, then our big data capabilities risk abandoning these values for the sake of innovation and expediency.
Can data provide the trust we need in health care?
Collecting actionable data is a challenge for today's data tools
One of the problems dragging down the US health care system is that nobody trusts one another. Most of us, as individuals, place faith in our personal health care providers, which may or may not be warranted. But on a larger scale we're all suspicious of each other:
- Doctors don't trust patients, who aren't forthcoming with all the bad habits they indulge in and often fail to follow the most basic instructions, such as to take their medications.
- The payers–which include insurers, many government agencies, and increasingly the whole patient population as our deductibles and other out-of-pocket expenses ascend–don't trust the doctors, who waste an estimated 20% or more of all health expenditures, including some thirty or more billion dollars of fraud each year.
- The public distrusts the pharmaceutical companies (although we still follow their advice on advertisements and ask our doctors for the latest pill) and is starting to distrust clinical researchers as we hear about conflicts of interest and difficulties replicating results.
- Nobody trusts the federal government, which pursues two (contradictory) goals of lowering health care costs and stimulating employment.
Yet everyone has beneficent goals and good ideas for improving health care. Doctors want to feel effective, patients want to stay well (even if that desire doesn't always translate into action), the Department of Health and Human Services champions very lofty goals for data exchange and quality improvement, clinical researchers put their work above family and comfort, and even private insurance companies are trying moving to "fee for value" programs that ensure coordinated patient care.
Podcast: thinking with data
Data tools are less important than the way you frame your questions.
Max Shron and Jake Porway spoke with me at Strata a few weeks ago about frameworks for making reasoned arguments with data. Max's recent O'Reilly book, Thinking with Data, outlines the crucial process of developing good questions and creating a plan to answer them. Jake's nonprofit, DataKind, connects data scientists with worthy causes where they can apply their skills.
A few of the things we talked about:
- The importance of publishing negative scientific results
- Give Directly, an organization that facilitates donations directly to households in Kenya and Uganda. Give Directly was able to model income using satellite data to distinguish thatched roofs from metal roofs.
- Moritz Stefaner calling for a "macroscope"
- Project Cybersyn, Salvador Allende's plan for encompassing the entire Chilean economy in a single real-time computer system
- Seeing Like a State: How Certain Schemes to Improve the Human Condition Have Failed by James C. Scott
After we recorded this podcast episode at Strata Santa Clara, Max presided over a webcast on his book that's archived here.
An Invitation to Practical Machine Learning
Does it make sense for me to have a car? If so, which one is the best choice for my needs: a gasoline, hybrid, or electric? And should I buy or lease?
In order to make an effective decision, I need to understand key issues about the design, performance, and cost of cars, regardless of whether or not I actually know how to build one myself. The same is true for people deciding if machine learning is a good choice for their business goals or project. Will the payoff be worth the effort? What machine learning approach is most likely to produce valuable results for your particular situation? What size team with what expertise is necessary to be able to develop, deploy, and maintain your machine learning system?
Given the complex and previously esoteric nature of machine learning as a field – the sometimes daunting array of learning algorithms and the math needed to understand and employ them – many people feel the topic is one best left only to the few.

Most healthcare clinicians don't often think about donating or sharing data. Yet, after hearing Stephen Friend of Sage Bionetworks talk about involving citizens and patients in the field of genetic research at StrataRx 2012, I was curious to learn more.
McKinsey points out the 300 billion dollars in potential savings from using open data in healthcare, while a recent IBM Institute of Business Value study showed the need for corporate data collaboration.
Also, during my own research for Big Data in Healthcare: Hype and Hope, the resounding request from all the participants I interviewed was to "find more data streams to analyze."

Finding the Meaning in "Meaningful Use"
The 30,000-foot view and the nitty gritty details of working with electronic health data
Ever wonder what the heck "meaningful use" really means? By now, you've probably heard it come up in discussions of healthcare data. You might even know that it specifically pertains to electronic health records (EHRs). But what is it really about, and why should you care?
If you've ever had to carry a large folder of paper between specialists, or fill out the same medical history form in different offices over and over—with whatever details you happen to remember off the top of your head that day—then you already have some idea of why EHRs are a desirable thing. The idea is that EHRs will lead to better care—and better research data—through more complete and accurate record-keeping, and will eventually become part of health information exchanges (HIEs) with features like trend analysis and push-notifications. However, the mere installation of EHR software isn't enough; we need not just cursory use but meaningful use of EHRs, and we need to ensure that the software being used meets certain standards of efficiency and security.
Why is building custom recommender systems hard? Does it have to be?
Today, it's shocking (and honestly exciting) how much of my daily experience is determined by a recommender system. These systems drive amazing experiences everywhere, telling me where to eat, what to listen to, what to watch, what to read, and even who I should be friends with. Furthermore, information overload is making recommender systems indispensable, since I can't find what I want on the web simply using keyword search tools. Recommenders are behind the success of industry leaders like Netflix, Google, Pandora, eHarmony, Facebook, and Amazon. It's no surprise companies want to integrate recommender systems with their own online experiences. However, as I talk to team after team of smart industry engineers, it has become clear that building and managing these systems is usually a bit out of reach, especially given all the other demands on the team's time.
Learning Apache Mesos
In the summer of 2012, Accel Partners hosted an invitation-only Big Data conference at Stanford. Ping Li stood near the exit with a checkbook, ready to invest $1MM in pitches for real-time analytics on clusters. However, real-time means many different things. For MetaScale working on the Sears turnaround, real-time means shrinking a 6 hour window on a mainframe to 6 minutes on Hadoop. For a hedge fund, real-time means compiling Python to run on GPUs where milliseconds matter, or running on FPGA hardware for microsecond response.
With much emphasis on Hadoop circa 2012, one might think that no other clusters existed. Nothing could be further from the truth: Memcached, Ruby on Rails, Cassandra, Anaconda, Redis, Node.js, etc. – all in large-scale production use for mission critical apps, much closer to revenue than the batch jobs. Google emphasizes a related point in their Omega paper: scheduling batch jobs is not difficult, while scheduling services on a cluster is a hard problem, and that translates to lots of money.

The MMARising website came out swinging Monday as they broke the news of two planned major bouts for two major promotions in April.
InvictaFC 4 main-eventer Bec Hyatt will return to Invicta 5 as she takes on undefeated Austrian fighter Jasminka Cive.
Hyatt (4-2) is coming off an impressive decision loss to strawweight champ Carla Esparza and is looking to get her first win at Invicta. Austria's Cive (5-0) has finished all of her opponents with four straight TKOs going into the bout. She will be dropping to 115 to take on Hyatt.
Invicta has scrapped plans to have the event in Irvine, CA, and a move to the Missouri side of Kansas City is looking more likely.
An event location and viewing options will be announced in the next few weeks. InvictaFC 5 will take place April 6.
Coming off one of the biggest wins of her career, #1 Unified flyweight Jessica Eye will take on #8 ranked Munah Holland at Bellator 95 April 4th in Atlantic City, NJ.
The WMMA Awards Flyweight of the Year, Eye (9-1) defeated Zoila Gurgel this past December via first round standing triangle choke, which won Submission of the Year. She is on a six fight win streak.
Holland is coming off a decision loss to #5 ranked Michelle Ould. Before the loss, Holland was on a four fight win streak, including wins over Marianna Kheyfets and Carina Damm.
The bout will most likely be televised on Spike TV live on April 4.
