Toddler found wandering on Southwest Trafficway
Updated On: Oct 10 2013 05:28:20 PM CDT
Kansas City police are investigating after a toddler found wandering on busy Southwest Trafficway late Thursday morning.
Police were called to the 4000 block of Mill Street just after 11 a.m. after the 2-year-old boy, wearing only diapers, was seen walking in six lanes of traffic.
Jackie Lima said she was driving down the street when she saw the boy dash out. While other drivers slowed down, Lima picked him up, called 911 and took the boy to a nearby parking lot to wait for police.
Officers told KMBC-TV that it's a wonder that the boy wasn't hurt.
"Luckily somebody saw him, and all the cars came to a stop, and the lady that actually called us kind of got out and grabbed him and corralled him and brought him over here," said Officer Doug Harr.
"They're still trying to figure out exactly why the child was found out here on Southwest Trafficway, or what were the parameters that went into him getting out of his house, which is what it sounds like happened," said Capt. Tye Grant.
Police said the boy's mother and other relatives met them at the scene. The boy was released to his aunt while his mother answered questions for police.
Investigators said it appears that boy got out of his house through a window and was only gone for a couple of minutes before his mother realized he was gone.
Police gave the mother a citation for child endangerment and she will work with Children's Investigative Services on a parenting plan.

Ford Says CEO Alan Mulally Will Stay at Least Through 2014 (Update 1)
Story updated with statement from Ford.
DETROIT ( TheStreet) -- Ford (F) said CEO Alan Mulally will remain on the job at least through 2014.
"There is no change from what we announced in November: Alan Mulally plans to continue to serve as Ford's president and CEO through at least 2014," Ford spokesman Jay Cooney said Friday morning.
The statement ended speculation that followed a report late Thursday that said Mulally, 68, could leave sooner than expected.At that time, Reuters reported that Mulally may step down before the expected date at the end of 2014. Initially, this report triggered selling in Ford shares. Ford shares closed Thursday at $17.30. After sliding to $17.21 in active, early premarket trading, the shares regained ground to $17.45 about an hour before the opening bell. However, shortly after the opening bell, the shares were down 25 cents to $17.05. Ford's board "is now open to letting {Mulally}step down earlier as he explores other roles," Reuters reported, quoting sources. However, when Reuters asked Mulally about his plans, he replied in an email that he is "absolutely focused on serving our Ford." Last month, technology-news Web site AllThingsD reported that Mulally could step in as interim CEO at Microsoft (MSFT), given that CEO Steve Ballmer said on Aug. 23 that he plans to step down in the next 12 months. The Reuters story was followed early Friday by a Bloomberg report that said, correctly, that Mulally intends to stay at Ford's helm through 2014. "I plan to continue to serve as Ford's president and CEO until at least the end of 2014," and to remain "absolutely laser focused" on earnings growth, Mulally wrote in an e-mail to Bloomberg News on Friday. "I love serving Ford and will continue serving Ford," Mulally said in an interview from Berlin with Anna Edwards on Bloomberg Television's "Countdown."

Niket Subhedar Follows a Different Path to Medicine
July 22, 2013 — Drexel sophomore Niket Subhedar is forging a unique path to medical school in the Health Services Administration Program at the College of Nursing and Health Professions. While working toward his Bachelor's degree in HSAD, Subhedar is also fulfilling his pre-requisite requirements to continue on to medical school. "I wanted a more useful degree than just a biology degree, which kind of limits what I want to do," he said. "I thought I would take advantage of what Drexel had to offer and I switched into the HSAD Program where I am learning the management side of healthcare, not just the clinical side."
Subhedar switched from Biology to the HSAD Program at the beginning of his second year as a Drexel student. After meeting doctors with administrative degrees, he realized that he needed to study something that was both useful and fulfilling. "You're just getting the most out of your college experience by taking interesting classes as well as classes that you have a passion for," he elaborated.
Fitting pre-medical requirements into the HSAD plan of study works out well for Subhedar because of Drexel's quarter system. His academic terms consist of a blend of science, administrative, law and ethics classes.
"Although a student in a non-science major is under pressure to perform at a high level in every required science course because they do not take as many as a student who majors in biology or chemistry, an HSAD major who does well in the pre-medical courses is competitive," said Thomas Coyne, a pre-medical advisor at Drexel University.

Be a good human being, a warm-hearted affectionate person. That is my fundamental belief. Having a sense of caring, a feeling of compassion will bring happiness of peace of mind to oneself and automatically create a positive atmosphere.Dalai Lama 1935

Some men know that a light touch of the tongue, running from a woman's toes to her ears, lingering in the softest way possible in various places in between, given often enough and sincerely enough, would add immeasurably to world peace.Marianne Williamson
If you want peace, work for justice.Henry Louis Mencken

Under this tree, where light and shade speckle the grass like a Thrush's breast, here in this green and quiet place I give myself to peace and rest. The peace of my contented mind, that is to me a wealth untoldUnknown
Love is not getting, but giving. Not a wild dream of pleasure and madness of desire - oh, no - love is not that! It is goodness and honor and peace and pure living - yes, love is that and it is the best thing in the world and the thing that lives the longest.Henry Van Dyke
If I have been of service, if I have glimpsed more of the nature and essence of ultimate good, if I am inspired to reach wider horizons of thought and action, if I am at peace with myself, it has been a successful day.Alex Noble
Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it! Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty or give me death! (American Revolutionary War)Patrick Henry
There is one purpose to life and one only: to bear witness to and understand as much as possible of the complexity of the world - its beauty, its mysteries, its riddles. The more you understand, the more you look, the greater is your enjoyment of life and your sense of peace. That's all there is to it. If an activity is not grounded in 'to love' or 'to learn,' it does not have value.Anne Rice
Contemplate the mangled bodies of your countrymen, and then say "what should be the reward of such sacrifices?" Bid us and our posterity bow the knee, supplicate the friendship and plough, and sow, and reap, to glut the avarice of the men who have let loose on us the dogs of war to riot in our blood and hunt us from the face of the earth? If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude than the animated contest of freedom go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains sit lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that you were our countrymen!Samuel Adams
Very often it has come to my mind what men of learning there were formerly throughout England, both in religious and secular orders; and how there were happy times then throughout England; and how the kings, who had authority over this people, obeyed God and his messengers; and how they not only maintained their peace, morality and authority at home but also extended their territory outside; and how they succeeded both in warfare and in wisdom; and also how eager were the religious orders both in teaching and in learning as well as in all the holy services which it was their duty to perform for God; and how people from abroad sought wisdom and instruction in this country; and how nowadays, if we wished to acquire these things, we would have to seek them outside.Alfred the Great
If it were not my purpose to combine barbarian things with things Hellenic, to traverse and civilize every continent, to search out the uttermost parts of land and sea, to push the bounds of Macedonia to the farthest Ocean, and to disseminate and shower the blessings of the Hellenic justice and peace over every nation, I should not be content to sit quietly in the luxury of idle power, but I should emulate the frugality of Diogenes. But as things are, forgive me Diogenes, that I imitate Herakles, and emulate Perseus, and follow in the footsteps of Dionysos, the divine author and progenitor of my family, and desire that victorious Hellenes should dance again in India and revive the memory of the Bacchic revels among the savage mountain tribes beyond the KaukasosAlexander III
Frank's chromosome conquered everywhere. Peace was guaranteed. By the end of another century's ruthless intermarriage, Russia and Asia were engulfed as thoroughly as Europe, and by the same loving methods. Billions of people: one consciousness.Brian Wilson Aldiss
I renew my call for the occupier (the United States) to leave our land. The departure of the occupier will mean stability for Iraq, victory for Islam and peace and defeat for terrorism and infidels.Hojatoleslam Muqtada al-Sadr
Having the foresight to plan to earn a living, is half of the peace and leisure in life.Jafar ibn Muhammad as-S
Both security and development ultimately depend on respect for human rights and the rule of law. Although increasingly interdependent, our world continues to be divided not only by economic differences, but also by religion and culture. That is not in itself a problem. Throughout history, human life has been enriched by diversity, and different communities have learnt from each other. But, if our different communities are to live together in peace we must stress also what unites us: our common humanity, and our shared belief that human dignity and rights should be protected by law.Kofi Atta Annan
The obstacles to peace are not obstacles in matter, in inanimate nature, in the mountains which we pierce, in the seas across which we fly. The obstacles to peace are in the minds and hearts of men. In the study of matter we can be honest, impartial, true. That is why we succeed in dealing with it. But about the things we care for which are ourselves, our desires and lusts, our patriotisms and hates we find a harder test of thinking straight and truly. Yet there is the greater need. Only by intellectual rectitude and in that field shall we be saved. There is no refuge but in truth, in human intelligence, in the unconquerable mind of man.Sir Norman Angell
I would not hesitate to say that nine out of ten of the critics of the peace movement get the argument turned upside down. "You cannot change human nature" has become a sort of incantation with those critics. Perhaps you cannot "change human nature" I don't indeed know what the phrase means. But you can certainly change human behavior, which is what matters, as the whole panorama of history shows.Sir Norman Angell

Quade seeks one infielder, one outfielder

MESA, Ariz. — For a team that finished in fifth place last season and didn't make many additions during the offseason, the Cubs have precious few job openings in camp.
In fact, manager Mike Quade said he sees only two openings on the non-pitching side of the roster on a team that finished 10th in the National League in runs scored, 11th in the NL in getting on base and next-to-last in the majors in fielding last season.
With versatile infielders Jeff Baker and Blake DeWitt each getting a piece of second base, right fielders Kosuke Fukudome and Tyler Colvin both projected to make the 25-man roster, Koyie Hill slotted in as the backup catcher and all the other starting jobs locked up, Quade said he's looking for another infielder capable of playing short and a versatile fifth outfielder to fill out his 13-man position-player roster.
The top candidates for the infield job are prospect Darwin Barney and non-roster veteran Augie Ojeda. Non-roster veteran Reed Johnson is in the outfield battle with newly acquired Fernando Perez, the fastest player in camp.
''Sometimes it works itself out,'' Quade said. ''Sometimes it doesn't, and it becomes a brutally tough decision. A lot of the people involved in this, we need to see play.
''I love the possibility of upsets and of guys coming to camp, like [then-prospect] Colvin did last year. You never close the door on anything. You have a core group you start with, and then you let people play and let them decide for you.''
Switch back
Perez, who scrapped switch-hitting last season to bat exclusively from the right side, is working from both sides of the plate again. Quade said he's eager to see whether Perez can be effective enough to add the one-step advantage to his speed.
''I'll bounce that off [hitting coach] Rudy [Jaramillo] on a regular basis and check on his left-handed progress and what we think about it,'' Quade said.

I am a 34 year old female and I am nominating my dog Ben for the "hero dog award." I was born blind at birth and early in my childhood had both of my eyes removed. In 2005 I got "my" hero dog (Ben), a Belgian shepherd-Malinois mix. In 2006 during a family vacation I developed a blood clot in my left leg and the only constant support I had emotionally and physically was my dog Ben. Ben was not only there for me when I was feeling helpless or sad, but he was also there for me when I needed help getting off the floor being a brace for me, picking items up off the floor when I drop them, being a guide for me when traveling in my wheelchair, and just being a loving familiar face after having a seizure. Ben is now retired and living a normal dog's life with my parents in Arizona. He has developed severe arthritis in his rear legs and does not move very well anymore. He is my best friend in the whole world and I could never thank him enough for the help he has given me in my life, and that is why I feel that he should be nominated for Hero Dog Award.

Irish Stocks Still Lucky
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Like many European countries, Ireland saw its fortunes hit hard by the region's financial crisis. Nevertheless, the tremendous comeback in its stock market has a lot more to do with the pluck of the Irish than luck, said Noel O'Halloran, portfolio manager of the New Ireland Fund (IRL). The closed-end fund, which was launched in March 1990, has returned an impressive 30% so far this year.
Welcome to TheStreet's Fund Manager Five Spot, where the world's top fund managers give their best stock picks and views on the market in a five-question format.
The New Ireland Fund is having a fantastic year even while other European country funds are struggling. What is driving this outperformance?
O'Halloran: First, the outperformance can be attributed to our active stock-picking. As a relatively small stock market, Ireland lends itself to active stock-picking. The portfolio is a focused portfolio of just over 20 names. Style-wise, I have maintained a high quality focus, or, in other words, we look for strong balance sheets, cash flow and management. I also focus on stocks with positive earnings momentum and dividend paying ability when possible. Thus far I have been avoiding low quality and deep value stocks, as I don't believe the recovery to be strong enough at this point to benefit more "fragile" stocks.Why is the Irish economy moving forward in the face of austerity while so many other European nations are falling behind? O'Halloran: Ireland arguably started to restructure its economy earlier. It recapitalized the banks, for example, and brought in a series of harsh budgets. Fortunately, the Irish people didn't rebel on the streets and accepted the reform more than many European counterparts. From a recovery perspective, we are recovering via the export economy, rather than the domestic economy, which is hit hard by austerity. The export economy is doing very well because unit labor costs have come down by about 25% since 2009 relative to Europe. Furthermore, we still have strong trade linkages to the US and UK which in relative terms have held up better than other economies. What is your view of Ryanair (RYAAY)? O'Halloran: I like Ryanair and it is in the top three holdings in the fund. Their low-cost model, strong management and cost focus helps them remain a winner in these "austere" times. The strong balance sheet allows them make a special dividend payment over coming months to shareholders which is unique in their sector.

10 Most Annoying Things to Say to a Wildlife Photographer
Written by: Tiffany Joyce
Have you ever had someone look at a picture that you took (as a result of a lot of observation, preparation, patience, and dirty laundry) and say "Man, that is one sweet.. (you expect 'photo').. camera you have!" I used to stay silent and disappointed earlier. Now I simply say "Yea. Here, take the camera, go out and get me a pic that you yourself think is as good, and you can keep the camera." The camera is still with me ..
One guy added, "You can't take a good picture just like that. You were really lucky to find those owls you know." I think and I remember, this is the same guy who came up to me and asked, "What are you clicking?" I said, "See those owls up there (pointing to them)?" He looks around, everywhere, even directly at the owls, and says "Where? I don't see anything!". And it just so happens to be a coincidence that those two owls used to perch on the same tree, same branch (or close by), same time of the day, almost everyday. I guess I'm 'lucky they didn't move out of that tree'
This one from Paul Burwell's blog is specially for all the wildlife photographers out there. I can relate to it 100 percent! And I'm sure you can too..

10. Will you photograph my wedding?
Okay, I know that I should take this as a compliment. But unless the bride and groom are going to wallow through a swamp on all fours, count me out. Brides and their mothers scare me more than coming face-to-face with a mother bear and her cubs while hiking.
9. Why can't I get pictures like that with my cell phone?
Hmmmmmm. Tough one. Could it be that the miniscule image sensor and cheap piece of plastic they call a lens can't quite compete with quality glass and the resolving power of the sensors in modern digital SLR cameras?

1655–65; < NL < Hindi dhatūra jimsonweed < Skt dhattūra
Princeton's WordNet
Datura, genus Datura(noun)
thorn apple
A plant of the genus Datura.
Webster Dictionary
a genus of solanaceous plants, with large funnel-shaped flowers and a four-celled, capsular fruit
Datura is a genus of nine species of vespertine flowering plants belonging to the family Solanaceae. They are known as angel's trumpets, sometimes sharing that name with the closely related genus Brugmansia, and commonly as daturas. They are also sometimes called moonflowers, one of several plant species to be so. Its precise and natural distribution is uncertain, owing to its extensive cultivation and naturalization throughout the temperate and tropical regions of the globe. Its distribution within the Americas, however, is most likely restricted to the United States and Mexico, where the highest species diversity occurs. Some South American plants formerly thought of as Datura are now treated as belonging to the distinct genus Brugmansia. Other related genera include Hyoscyamus and Atropa.
U.S. National Library of Medicine
A plant genus of the family SOLANACEAE. Members contain TROPANES. The common name of trumpet flower is also sometimes used for GELSEMIUM.

Young Adults Sometimes See Debt as a Positive
Owing money boosts self-esteem, especially among middle and lower classes, study finds
THURSDAY, June 9 (HealthDay News) -- Debt may actually give some young adults a self-esteem boost, a new study suggests.
Ohio State University researchers looked at 3,079 young adults and found that, among those aged 18 to 27, having more credit card and college loan debt was generally linked with higher levels of self-esteem and a greater feeling of being in control of their lives.
"We thought educational debt might be seen as a positive because it is an investment in their future, while credit card debt could be viewed more negatively," lead author Rachel Dwyer, an assistant professor of sociology, said in a university news release. "Surprisingly, though, we found that both kinds of debt had positive effects for young people. It didn't matter the type of debt, it increased their self-esteem and sense of mastery."
The association between debt and improved self-esteem was strongest among those from families with the lowest incomes, whereas those from the most affluent families gained no self-esteem boost from having debt, according to the study, recently published in Social Science Research.
"The wealthiest young people have the most resources and options available to them, so debt is not an issue for them," Dwyer said. "The groups that most need the debt -- the middle and lower classes -- get the most benefits to their self-concept but may also face the greatest difficulties in paying off what they owe."
The researchers also found that signs of stress about having debt started to become evident in the oldest participants, those 28 to 34 years old.
"By age 28, they may be realizing that they overestimated how much money they were going to earn in their jobs," Dwyer said. "When they took out the loans, they may have thought they would pay off their debts easily, and it is turning out that it is not as easy as they had hoped."
For the study, funded by a grant from the National Science Foundation, the researchers relied on interviews conducted on behalf of the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

The Best Gold IRA Rollover Strategy
When the long-term economic outlook is clouded by an unstable stock market, weak employment data, and political turmoil, many consumers begin searching for the best gold ira rollover. For a company that does this for you, check the video review that someone made here.
Individual Retirement Arrangements, known as IRAs for short, allow individuals to defer tax payment on certain types of savings accounts. Some of the more common plans are employee-sponsored. Even self-employed workers and sole proprietors can take advantage of tax deferment aspect of IRAs.
One key provision of current tax law lets plan holders move funds from one IRA account to another. Often, taxpayers do a switch like this in order to get a higher rate of return or because their investment philosophy changes. For example, if an investor thinks the small-cap stock sector will perform well in the upcoming years, he or she might decide to roll a large-cap IRA into one that emphasizes securities of smaller firms.
The ability to switch from one account to another, yet still have the funds treated as an IRA, is a huge advantage for U.S. workers. A popular strategy among gold and silver enthusiasts involves moving IRA money into plans that weigh itself towards holdings of gold, gold stocks, and gold mining operations.
Several decades ago, when the securities markets were more stable than they are today, mutual funds enjoyed massive popularity among investors and workers with IRAs. Few viewed gold or other metals as worthy vehicles for tax-deferred savings plans. However, as economic turmoil became more common than financial stability, investors began taking a hard look at metal-backed funds. While gold tends to be the most visible of the precious metals, silver, palladium, and platinum enjoy attention from precious metals enthusiasts as well.
In the 1980s, silver stocks and silver bullion rivaled gold in the eyes of some investors. Unfortunately for silver fans, that metal has displayed a uniformly volatile price history, typically surging or dropping wildly when the price of gold merely rises or falls by an insignificant percentage. Though the two metals tend to travel in the same general direction on long-term price charts, gold is invariably seen as a wiser, more stable choice for IRA investing.
When consumers seek to roll an IRA into a gold-backed account, they need to remember that it is not an all-or-nothing proposition. In fact, taxpayers can put any portion of their IRA money into a gold fund, while leaving the rest in the original IRA. According to IRS guidelines, a taxpayer cannot exceed the annual contribution limit, however many IRA accounts are held despite this. In other words, it is perfectly legal to have multiple IRA accounts, but the contribution ceiling for each tax category (single, married, etc) still applies. Note that there are NO limits on the amount that can be rolled over in any given year, as long as the money stays within the confines of an IRA.
For the 2013 tax year IRA contribution limits are $5,500 per person, with some exceptions and variations. For the majority of taxpayers, the limit will be $5,500 for single people and $11,000 for married couples.

Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings reports 2Q adjusted net income of $15.9 million
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings (Atlas Air and Polar Air Cargo) (New York) reported adjusted net income of $15.9 million for the second quarter.
The company issued this statement:
Atlas Air Worldwide Holdings, Inc., a leading global provider of outsourced aircraft and aviation operating services, announced adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders of $15.9 million, or $0.63 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2014, compared with $20.4 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, for the three months ended June 30, 2013.
On a reported basis, net income attributable to common stockholders in the second quarter of 2014 totaled $29.6 million, or $1.17 per diluted share, compared with $20.1 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the year-ago quarter.
"We are off to a good start in 2014. Airfreight demand is improving, and we are encouraged about our full-year outlook," said William J. Flynn, President and Chief Executive Officer. "As we continue to gather additional insight into second-half yields, demand and military requirements, we are maintaining our full-year earnings framework."
Mr. Flynn added: "Atlas is an entrepreneurial company. Our second-quarter results illustrate the positive contributions being generated by the investments we've made and the initiatives we've undertaken. In the face of an uncertain airfreight market and an anticipated decline in military cargo demand, we have diversified our business mix and are driving business resilience.
"Results within our ACMI segment are benefiting from modern 747-8 freighters as well as an increase in flying for our CMI customers. In Dry Leasing, the investments we've made since early 2013 in attractive 777 freighters on long-term leases with strong customers are driving a significant increase in contribution from highly predictable revenue and earnings streams.
"In addition, the expansion of our 767 platform and our growth into military and commercial passenger charter operations are providing added strength, complementing the improvement in airfreight demand.
"Led by the strength of our brand, our global market leadership in outsourced aircraft assets and services, and our ability to work closely with our customers as they enhance their route networks and grow their businesses, we are well-positioned to take advantage of market opportunities and improvement – and to continue our focus on longer-term business growth."
Adjusted earnings in the second quarter of 2014 exclude an income tax benefit of $24.0 million, or $0.95 per diluted share, due to beneficial tax planning related to the tax treatment of extraterritorial income. This was partly offset by a noncash loss of $9.4 million after tax, or $0.37 per diluted share, resulting from the trade-in of used spare engines for new engines under the company's engine-acquisition program, as well as additional charges totaling $1.0 million after tax, or $0.04 per diluted share, which were primarily related to the company's U.K. affiliate, Global Supply Systems Limited.
Adjusted earnings in the second quarter of 2013 exclude an after-tax loss of $0.6 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, on the early extinguishment of debt, partly offset by an after-tax gain of $0.3 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, on the disposal of aircraft.
Second-Quarter Results
Profitability in our ACMI business during the second quarter reflected an increase in 747-8F revenue and an increase in CMI flying, offset by higher maintenance expense for aircraft operating in this segment.
ACMI revenues benefited from an increase in our average rate per block hour driven by our 747-8Fs, but were impacted by a decline in block-hour volumes related to the return of three 8Fs from British Airways in April and early May. This decline was partially offset by the placement of two of the 8Fs with DHL Express in May, the start-up of ACMI 8F flying for BST Logistics in February 2014 and Etihad in May 2013, as well as the start-up of ACMI 747-400 flying for Astral Aviation in September 2013. Block-hour volumes during the second quarter also reflected an increase in CMI Dreamlifter flying for Boeing and the initiation of CMI 767-200 passenger aircraft service for MLW Air during the third quarter of 2013.
In Dry Leasing, revenue and profitability grew following the addition of three 777F aircraft in January 2014 and two in July 2013, which raised our 777F fleet count to six. Each of these aircraft are leased to customers on a long-term basis.
In AMC Charter, results benefited from an increase in the volume of passenger flying on higher-yielding 747-400 aircraft, partially offset by a decrease in demand for cargo flying. Segment results in Commercial Charter reflected a decrease in market rates and increases in maintenance and crewmember travel expense, partially offset by an increase in block-hour volumes.
Reported earnings for the period reflected an effective income tax rate benefit of 461.0%, driven by tax-planning efforts regarding a federal income tax benefit related to the treatment of extraterritorial income from the offshore leasing of certain of our aircraft.
Half-Year Results
For the six months ended June 30, 2014, adjusted net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $27.3 million, or $1.08 per diluted share, compared with $26.3 million, or $1.01 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2013.
On a reported basis, first-half 2014 net income attributable to common stockholders totaled $37.5 million, or $1.49 per diluted share, compared with $40.1 million, or $1.54 per diluted share, in the first half of 2013.
Cash and Short-Term Investments
At June 30, 2014, our cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and restricted cash totaled $299.2 million, compared with $339.2 million at December 31, 2013.
The change in position reflected cash provided by operating and financing activities offset by cash used for investing activities.
Net cash used for investing activities during the first half of 2014 primarily related to the purchase of three 777F aircraft for our Dry Leasing business.
Net cash provided by financing activities primarily reflected proceeds from the issuance of debt in connection with the acquisitions of these aircraft. Those proceeds were partially offset by payments on debt obligations and debt issuance costs.
We are encouraged by our performance in the first half of 2014 and the positive direction of market trends so far this year.
Airfreight volumes continue to improve, and recent forecasts suggest that airfreight demand may grow by several percentage points in 2014 – the first real growth after three essentially flat years. Airfreight yields continue to lag behind, however, and there is still limited visibility into peak-season yields, demand and second-half military requirements. As a result, we are maintaining our earnings outlook for the full year.
On a sequential basis, per-share earnings in the third quarter of this year should improve over our adjusted second-quarter results by an increment similar to the increase between our first- and second-quarter adjusted earnings.
For the full year, we expect total block hours to be comparable to 2013, with more than 70% in ACMI, approximately 10% in AMC Charter, and the balance in Commercial Charter. Our Dry Leasing segment should show dramatic growth compared with 2013. While our share of military flying, mainly in passenger service, has increased due to a reduction in the number of carriers serving the market and our ability to capitalize on additional flying opportunities, we continue to expect an overall decline in military demand, primarily in cargo, compared with 2013.
We also expect aircraft maintenance expense to total approximately $180 million in 2014, with depreciation of approximately $120 to $125 million. Core capital expenditures this year are expected to total approximately $45 to $50 million, mainly for spare parts for our expanded fleet.
We remain confident in the resilience of our business model, as well as our ability to adapt to the market and to leverage the scale and efficiencies in our operations. The business initiatives we have undertaken and the investments we have made have enabled the company to deliver meaningful earnings in any environment.
Should 2014 be the inflection point when growth returns to commercial airfreight and yields improve, our business initiatives and the investments we have made have positioned Atlas to be one of the prime beneficiaries.

AirBridgeCargo add its fifth Boeing 747-8 freighter, reports its growth in 2013
AirBridgeCargo-ABC (Moscow), part of Volga-Dnepr Group and Russia's largest cargo airline, recently celebrated the delivery of the airline's fifth 747-8 Freighter (VQ-BRJ, msn 37670) on December 27, 2013.
With delivery of the fifth 747-8 Freighter, AirBridgeCargo continues to follow its long-term fleet modernization strategy to further improve the quality of its product. The new aircraft will be used on ABC's existing route network linking Europe, Asia and the United States via the airline's hub in Moscow.
At present AirBridgeCargo's fleet consists of 12 Boeing 747s, including five Boeing 747-400ERFs (Extended Range Freighters), three Boeing 747-400 Freighters and five Boeing 747-8 Freighters.
The carrier achieved a 5% growth in cargo tonnage in 2013, with its highest ever volume of 340,000 tons across its network linking Europe, Russia, Asia and North America.
The airline reported volume growth on all of its major routes and this was matched by a 5% improvement in revenue. AirBridgeCargo's Freight Ton-Kilometers (FTK) rose 15% in 2013, while its average load factor of 72% show a marginal 1.7% gain over the previous year.
Despite challenging market conditions in 2013, ABC continued with its long-term fleet modernisation strategy and took delivery of two more new generation freighters Boeing 747-8F. With the delivery of its fifth Boeing 747-8F in December 2013, AirBridgeCargo completed its fleet renewal plan which began two years ago. This investment has reduced the average age of its aircraft fleet from nine years at the end of 2011 to three years at the end of 2013. At present, ABC's fleet is one of the youngest in the air cargo industry.
AirBridgeCargo took delivery of its first Boeing 747-8F (VQ-BLQ) (see above) in January 2012, with the second and third aircraft joining its fleet in March and December 2012. The fourth new generation freighter entered service with ABC in September last year. As part of the modernization program, ABC removed four older aircraft from its fleet; two Boeing 747-200F, one Boeing 747-300F and a Boeing 747-400ERF. A further 747-400ERF will leave its fleet in 2014.
In 2013, AirBridgeCargo joined the Olympic movement with the delivery of 126 tons of broadcasting equipment as well as 214 tons of sports and lighting equipment for the 2014 Winter Olympics taking place in the Russia City of Sochi in February. The flights were performed using Boeing 747 and Boeing 737 cargo aircraft.

Boeing receives the type certificate for the new Boeing 747-800F freighter, Cargolux to take delivery next month
Cargolux Airlines International Boeing 747-8R7F N5573S (LX-VCC) (msn 35807) PAE (Nick Dean), originally uploaded by Airliners Gallery.
Boeing (Chicago) today received U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) and European Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) certification Friday for the new 747-8 Freighter, passing two of the final landmarks on the airplane's journey to entry into service. The FAA granted Boeing an Amended Type Certificate (ATC) and an Amended Production Certificate for the 747-8 Freighter, while the EASA also granted the company an ATC for the airplane.
With these certificates, the program is in the final stages of preparing to deliver the first 747-8 Freighter to launch customer Cargolux in early September 2011.
The Amended Type Certificate acknowledges that the FAA and EASA have certified that the design of the 747-8 Freighter is compliant with all aviation regulatory requirements and will produce a safe and reliable airplane. The airplane logged more than 3,400 hours of flight testing and many thousands more of ground, part, component, materials and other testing on the road to certification.

New Boeing 747-8 Freighter completes certification flight testing
Boeing 747-8R7F N747EX (msn 35808) SBD (Michael B. Ing), originally uploaded by Airliners Gallery.
Boeing (Chicago) yesterday announced the 747-8 Freighter successfully completed its certification flight test program Tuesday, with two airplanes landing at Paine Field in Everett, Washington. Flight test airplane RC522 completed testing of the flight management computer (FMC) and RC523 completed function & reliability (F&R) testing.
The first 747-8 Freighter is scheduled to be delivered to launch customer Cargolux in September after certification from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
The 747-8 Freighter has flown more than 1,200 flights and 3,400 hours since its first flight February 8, 2010. During that time, the five-airplane test fleet was used to gather data for more than 1,700 FAA certification requirements. Boeing tested the capabilities of these airplanes far beyond what they are expected to encounter in normal service. Tests concluded with F&R testing, a final phase in which an airplane must accrue 300 FAA-approved flight hours in its final delivery configuration.

Boeing delays the delivery of the first Boeing 747-8F
Cargolux Airlines International Boeing 747-8R7F N5573S (LX-VCC) (msn 35807) PAE (Nick Dean) (launch customer of 747-8F), originally uploaded by Airliners Gallery.
Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) today announced a schedule change for the 747-8 Freighter with the first delivery now expected to be in mid-year 2011. The company also announced steps it is taking to support the new schedule, including adding a fifth airplane to the flight-test fleet.
Boeing previously indicated that, following recent flight-test discoveries, there was a high probability the first 747-8 Freighter delivery would move into 2011. According to Boeing the new delivery schedule follows a thorough assessment of the expected cumulative impact of these discoveries, which include a low-frequency vibration in certain flight conditions and an underperforming aileron actuator. While neither issue requires structural changes to the airplane, they have led to disruptions to certification testing, which the program was unable to offset within the prior schedule.

Boeing 747-8KZF N5017Q (msn 36136) PAE (Nick Dean) (3rd 747-8F test aircraft), originally uploaded by Airliners Gallery.
Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) received expanded type inspection authorization (TIA) from the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) for the 747-8 Freighter on June 11. This authorization clears the way for FAA personnel to participate in test flights and collect required data.
With the issuance of TIA, the 747 program is beginning expanded certification testing. During this phase of testing, the extremes of the flight envelope are explored. Testing conditions include operations in hot and cold weather as well as takeoffs and landings at high-altitude airports. In addition, over-speed conditions, hard landings and engine-out conditions are tested.
The entire flight-test program calls for a total of about 3,700 hours of ground and air testing. The first 747-8 Freighter delivery is planned for the fourth quarter of this year. The first customer is Cargolux.

Cargolux to introduce a new livery with the first Boeing 747-8F
Cargolux Airlines International (Luxembourg) is introducing a new livery with the delivery of the first new Boeing 747-8F. The cargo airline is the launch customer for the new type. The first Boeing 747-8 Freighter painted in Cargolux's livery emerged from the Boeing paint hangar in Everett, WA on June 7. The cargo operator has a total of 13 Boeing 747-8 Freighters on order.
Boeing delivered the last Cargolux 747-400 Freighter with a unique transition paint scheme featuring fading stripes. The new livery on Cargolux's 747-8 Freighter is an evolution from the current design and marks the start into a new era for the company.
"The design stands for continuity and commitment while confirming the fundamental principles that made Cargolux successful. The red, white and blue stripes symbolize the company's roots in Luxembourg, its hub and home base," said Ulrich Ogiermann, CEO of Cargolux. The new livery features a distinctive new red tail and an additional logo on the belly further promotes the brand.
Boeing will deliver the first 747-8 Freighter to Cargolux in the fourth quarter of this year.
Boeing 747-8KZF N5017Q begins testing in Southern California

Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) has placed the second Boeing 747-8 Freighter, RC521, the pictured 747-8KZF N5017Q (msn 36136), landed in Palmdale, CA yesterday (April 19), marking the beginning of a planned transition of 747-8 Freighter testing to Southern California. The more than four-hour flight from Boeing Field in Seattle included testing on avionics and cruise performance.
The airplane will be stationed in Palmdale for the majority of its scheduled flight-test program. The crew will conduct several tests on the airplane with fuel-mileage and engine-performance testing as key focus areas.
A contingent of employees has been stationed at Palmdale for the testing, including flight-test engineers and the support personnel who prepare the airplane for each day's flights. In the coming weeks, the two other 747-8 airplanes in the flight-test fleet will join RC521 in Southern California.
The entire flight-test program calls for the three airplanes to perform a total of about 3,700 hours of ground and air testing. The first 747-8 Freighter delivery to Cargolux is planned for the fourth quarter of this year.

Boeing puts the third 747-8F into testing
Boeing's (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) third 747-8 Freighter, RC 521 (N5017Q), successfully completed its first flight on March 17. It is the final test airplane scheduled to participate in the flight-test program for the 747-8 Freighter.
Piloted by Captains Paul Stemer and Keith Otsuka, with Ralph Chaffin serving as systems operator, RC 521 took off from Paine Field in Everett, WA, completed a two-and-a-half-hour flight and landed at Boeing Field in Seattle. The airplane reached an altitude of 30,000 feet (9,144 m) and an airspeed of 245 knots, or about 282 miles (454 km) per hour. It took off at 3:27 p.m. PDT and landed at 5:58 p.m.
RC 521 has several tests scheduled in the test program, including fuel-mileage testing. The 747-8 Freighter flight-test program calls for all three airplanes to perform approximately 3,700 hours of testing both on the ground and in the air. The first 747-8 Freighter delivery is planned for the fourth quarter of this year.
Boeing puts the second 747-8 freighter into testing
Boeing (Chicago, Seattle, Wichita and Charleston) has placed a second 747-8 Freighter, designated internally as RC 522, successfully completed its first flight on Sunday evening (March 14). The airplane took off from Paine Field in Everett, WA, for a two-and-a-half-hour flight and landed at King County-Boeing Field in Seattle.
Captain Kirk Vining was at the controls for the flight, with Rick Braun operating as co-pilot and Joel Conard serving as systems operator. The airplane reached an altitude of 27,000 feet (8,230 m) and an airspeed of 240 knots, or about 276 miles (444 km) per hour. It took off at 3:57 p.m. (1557) PDT and landed at 6:25 p.m (1825) PDT.

In recent years, grousing about the Oscars, which used to begin and end as water cooler chatter, has turned into a trivially self-serious industry, an annual collective rant in which the Sins of the Telecast are dutifully compiled and picked over and excoriated. "The show was way too long!" "It was boring!" "The host was a bust: unfunny and, at times, offensive!" "He (or she) should never be invited back!" "The musical numbers were terrible, and the In Memoriam segment left out far too many people!" "The tribute to _____ stopped the show dead in its tracks, and so did the montages!" "They were badly done, and there were at least three too many of them!" "______'s gown was hideous!" "The acceptance speeches went on way too long!" "Except for the ones that were cut off by those egregious music cues!" "And what was up with ______? My God, he looked so old!" READ FULL STORY
Tag: the Academy Awards (1-10 of 32)
The Best Actor race is the hottest ever. And yes, Leonardo could win
In decades of tracking the Academy Awards, I honestly can't recall any category, in any year, when a race was as fiercely, thrillingly white-hot competitive as this year's Best Actor race. Just think about it: Not one, not two, not three, but four of the nominees each stands a very real chance of winning. Consider each scenario, and you'll realize it's true. When Jennifer Lawrence gets up to present the Best Actor award and tears open that envelope, if she ends up saying, "And the Oscar goes to…Chiwetel Ejiofor for 12 Years a Slave," it will not be a shock, because Ejiofor, playing a man who endures the torments of the damned, and must hold in his emotions (even as he shows them to us), and must somehow, on top of all that, figure out a way to keep his faith burning, has been justly acclaimed for being incredible beyond words in that movie. If Lawrence says, "And the Oscar goes to…Matthew McConaughey for Dallas Buyers Club," it will not be a shock, because McConaughey, this year, is the official front-runner, and has been justly coronated for giving a tough, sinewy, moving, and anger-singed performance that is widely viewed as the culminating act of his 20-year career in Hollywood.

Oscars: Visual effects artists protest outside Dolby Theatre
Protestors are no rare sight outside Hollywood awards shows — members of extreme religious groups often set up camp near events like the SAG Awards and the Oscars. But at this year's Academy Awards, a protest of a different kind was taking place; It came from inside Tinseltown. A reported 400 or so visual effects artists gathered outside Dolby Theatre Sunday to pronounce their grievances with their place in the industry.
The protest followed the announcement earlier this month that visual effects house Rhythm & Hues is filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. Protesters on a street corner near Dolby held aloft signs that read "Will matte paint for food," "Respect for vex" and "We want a piece of the Pi." Rhythm & Hues worked on Life of Pi, which took home the award for Best Visual Effects Sunday. READ FULL STORY

What were Oscar winners Anne Hathaway, Adele, Jennifer Lawrence, Daniel Day-Lewis, Ben Affleck, Grant Heslov, and George Clooney thinking when they heard their names announced at last night's ceremony?

This year's Academy Awards: a lively, occasionally uneasy mixture of snark and sincerity
I'm someone who respects tradition, so in writing about the Academy Awards, I generally make a point of referring to them at least once — usually in my opening sentence — as, you know, "the Academy Awards." But now I've learned that I shouldn't even do that: The official, marquee title of the event that ABC broadcast to a billion viewers on Sunday night was "The Oscars." (Barbara Walters must have been thrilled.) Which may make you think that the show has taken on a new, casual spirit. In certain ways, it has. The host, Seth MacFarlane, threw his barbed tomahawks, treating the Oscars as his own free-form joke writer's playroom. MacFarlane, a maestro of misanthropic snark, knew that he'd been engaged to push the how many powerful people in the audience can we insult to their faces? tradition of Ricky Gervais to the breaking point, and he happily complied. He tossed prickly insults at Quentin Tarantino, Amour, Harvey Weinstein, Daniel Day-Lewis' vocal performance as Lincoln, and — thank you! — Entertainment Weekly. But he also framed the whole thing as a self-conscious stunt in which the question of whether or not he was "going too far" became the perpetual theme of his comedy. READ FULL STORY
'Zero Dark Thirty' banned -- unofficially -- in Pakistan
Zero Dark Thirty is set largely in Pakistan — but the citizens of that country largely aren't able to see how their homeland is depicted in it, unless they can track down a pirated copy of the Oscar-nominated film.
EW has confirmed that Zero Dark Thirty has not been approved by Pakistan's board of censors, and therefore has not been shown in any of the nation's few movie theaters that play English-language films. But that's not the whole story: according to the Associated Press, no distributor has even applied for permission to show Zero Dark Thirty in Pakistan. This means that while the movie hasn't been officially censured by Pakistan's government, it is unofficially unsanctioned there. DVDs of the film were being sold recently in the capital city of Islamabad — but the AP writes that rumors about a ban have driven at least two stores to stop carrying Zero Dark Thirty, while another has taken to selling it only under the counter.
'Argo' at the Oscars: What its likely triumph is really about
You know the old saying about how the best explanation for something is usually the simplest? One could easily apply that to the Academy Awards. After all the politicking, the PR campaigns (Roger Ebert in the Weinstein Co. ads for Silver Linings Playbook: "I sense a groundswell"), the "snubs" and the pendulum swings, an elite handful of movies, actors, and artists behind the camera will emerge as winners on Sunday night, and the reason that each of them will win is (drum roll!)…. the members of the motion picture Academy voted for what they liked best! Period. It's a thought so simple and debate-halting that it could almost have come from Debbie Downer. READ FULL STORY

ÆTHELBALD, king of Wessex, was the son of Æthelwulf, with whom he led the West Saxons to victory against the Danes at Aclea, 851. According to Asser he rebelled against his father on the latter's return from Rome in 856, and deprived him of Wessex, which he ruled until his death in 860. On his father's death in 818 he married his widow, Judith.

Inspired by the yogurt-based raitas of India, I created this pale green, frothy sauce with soft tofu rather than the traditional yogurt. When my friends from Bombay gave it their thumbs up, I felt even more convinced about tofu's potential to please those who wish to include more soy in their diets or avoid dairy products.
1. In a blender, puree the tofu, cucumbers, 4 tablespoons of the lime juice, oil, mint, cilantro, mustard, and salt. Adjust the seasonings to your taste by adding more mustard, lime juice, and salt.
2. Refrigerate the mixture for at least ½ hour before serving. It keeps well for up to 3 days.
Other Ideas:
Serve chilled as a refreshing hot-weather soup. Or, thin slightly with water and serve as a drink.
Use as a salad dressing for greens or sliced tomatoes.
I created this sauce to serve alongside the Skillet Grain Medley with Curried Tempeh, where it creates a refreshing counterpart to the dense texture of the grains. Prepare it at least a half hour in advance to give the flavors a chance to meld.
Be sure to use standard, watery cucumbers--not the burpless kind--and don't remove the seeds.
