text: 5 All time favourite!suzmart | 04/12/2010 | See all suzmart's reviews (7)I looooove this film. It is a film about hope and longing and wishes come true. Sandra Bullock is so wonderful and honest it makes you want to cry and laugh at the same time. Bill Pullman and the rest of the cast are also so natural, it just makes you want to be part of the family. You will want to watch this film again and again.

FMC Technologies' CEO Discusses Q4 2011 Results - Earnings Call Transcript
Additionally, we have changed our reporting structure to better reflect our strategic priorities. An 8-K was filed with the SEC that restated past results under the new reporting structure. All results discussed during the call will be reported using our 3 new segments, subsea Technologies, Surface Technologies and Energy Infrastructure, unless we indicate otherwise.
I will now turn the call over to John Gremp, FMC Technologies Chairman, President and CEO.
John T. Gremp
Good morning. Welcome to our fourth quarter 2011 conference call. With me today are Maryann Seaman, our CFO; and Bob Potter, our Executive Vice President. I'll start with some highlights from the quarter and for the year. Maryann will provide specifics on our financial performance and our outlook for 2012 and then we'll open up the call for your questions.Regarding the results for the quarter [Audio Gap] earnings were $0.41 per diluted share for the quarter and $1.64 for the full year, a 7% increase over our prior year performance and our 10th consecutive year of earnings growth. Despite the earnings growth, our subsea Results were below our previous guidance. We reached our revenue expectation, but as we discussed last quarter, the continuing challenges associated with ramping up our subsea business by almost 40% from the first quarter to the fourth quarter of 2011 negatively impacted margins. We also incurred some other specific costs, which I'll discuss later. Total company revenue was $1.5 billion for the quarter and $5.1 billion for the year. Fourth quarter operating income was $166 million, bringing our 2011 total to $619 million. Subsea Technologies inbounded $1.3 billion of awards in the fourth quarter, bringing our full year total to $3.9 billion. Our backlog now stands at $4.1 billion. Revenue for the quarter in Subsea Technologies was $964 million, an increase of 38% over the prior year quarter and 16% sequentially. This volume is a record and enabled us to reach $3.3 billion in revenue for the year. In 2012, we expect to generate approximately $4 billion in revenue, and our fourth quarter revenue of almost $1 billion supports this target.

Doug, Sorry I didn't catch your emails earlier. I have some concerns on putting the wrapped port type in the ws-eventing.wsdl which is for the event source whereas the wrapped port type is for the sink. In the 6401 proposal, we created separated wsdls (source wsdl and notification wsdl) so current tools can work on them directly. Thanks, Li LiReceived on Tuesday, 26 May 2009 14:37:55 GMT

eBook Category: Science Fiction
eBook Description: For a thousand years the Great Awakening has spread the teachings of Islam to all of the far corners of the known universe. Without a Caliph at its head, the great Muslim empire had been a disparate conglomerate of power, for no one ruler had been able to bridge the great inter-planetary distances to make the requisite pilgrimage to the holy city of Mecca. Then the Emir of Mars announced his plans to undertake this most ambitious of journeys and win the prize of the Caliphate, and Mars is thrust into a frenzy of plots and intrigues. Young scientist Abdul Hamid-Jones is not interested enough in politics to see how any of this could affect him, but soon finds himself caught up in the web of court politics, with his life at stake because of what he knows!

The call to prayer sounded from his wrist monitor, and Abdul Hamid-Jones reluctantly pressed the hold button on the haft of his micromanipulator remote and set it down carefully on the laboratory bench. With a martyr's sigh, he consulted the glowing 3-D arrow that seemed to be floating somewhere within his wrist on the little holographic display.
It was a little complicated this afternoon. Mecca was located somewhere underfoot, through the entire bulk of Mars, with an ambiguous east-west orientation, and moreover, since that face of the Earth happened to be turned away at the moment, it was upside-down in Hamid-Jones's frame of reference.
He cast a last despairing glance at the magnified events unfolding on the big bench-mounted screen. The restriction enzymes had done their work, but DNA was leaking all over the place, and if he didn't do something about annealing the loose ends immediately, the carefully prepared plasmid chimera waiting in the wings would be spoiled. He was almost tempted to skip the afternoon devotion, but the door to his cubicle was open, and the overseer, Yezid the Prod -- a man of limited understanding -- had been on the prowl all day.
The insect buzz of the muezzin's voice grew more insistent at his wrist. "Allahu akbar, Allahu akbar!" it repeated for the last time; "La ilaha illa Allah!" With a muttered "All right," Hamid-Jones drew the monofilm prayer rug out of his shirt pocket and unfolded it to full size. He flexed his wrist a couple of times, making sure that the arrow held steady, then hastily made his silent declaration of intention-- though somewhat guiltily limiting himself to the minimum number of rak'as.
"Allahu akbar," he responded with not a moment to spare and sank to his knees in the light Martian gravity, prostrating himself in the direction that, according to the astronomical computer's tiny brain, most nearly approximated that of Mecca.
Halfway through his specified rak'as, he felt a shadow fall across his back. He knew without looking that it was Yezid and was awfully glad that he had not given in to the impulse to evade his religious duties. Yezid had been more foul-tempered than usual of late. Only a few days ago he had had an unfortunate Callistan slave flogged for a minor infraction of department regulations. Not that Hamid-Jones himself was in danger of such treatment; Yezid would hardly dare to touch an assistant to the Clonemaster of the Royal Stables. But it would be deucedly embarrassing to be hauled in front of a religious court and scolded, and it might hinder his advancement.
The shadow went away. Hamid-Jones finished his prayers and scrambled to his feet. He left the rug where it was; his first thought was for the bright twisting shapes of the gene assembly displayed above the lab bench.
He gave a groan. It was ruined. Even from the pseudoimage with its computer-assigned colors, he could see that it was a hopeless tangle. The passenger gene had come unstuck and attached itself to a section of an inverted repeat sequence on the wrong strand of the heteroduplex he had created that morning.
He shuddered to think of the consequences if a clone with a hidden defect ever were allowed to come to foal. He was working with genetic material from the Emir's prize stallion. The Emir tended to take a personal interest in the offspring of his beloved al-Janah, the Winged One.
Knowing that it was hopeless, he punched up the magnification and called for a schema to confirm the bad news. The computer obliged with a color-coded abstraction that showed the sequencing of base pairs on the offending palindrome as a series of little plugs and sockets. The replication fork was busily zipping itself up to the end of the molecule -- a repeat structure gone wild.
Hamid-Jones flushed it all away. He was going to have to do it all over again, from scratch. Wearily he began assembling the components of another plasmid from the DNA fragments he had in storage.
"Ya Abdul, why so serious?" a voice said from the door. "Coming to tea?"
Hamid-Jones looked around. It was Rashid, from the protein assembly section. Like himself, Rashid was descended from mawali, or "client" forebears, and it showed in Rashid's sandy hair and boiled complexion. Hamid-Jones, on the other hand, might almost have passed for a pure-blooded ethnic Arab -- with his hawklike visage, deeper coloring, and fierce dark eyes -- but he was painfully aware of his origins. Like it or not, he was an Anglo-Arab -- forever to be known in the social scheme of things as an 'arab al masta ariba, "one who becomes an Arab." He was not as low on the social scale as the ubiquitous dhimmi, or unbelievers -- who nevertheless enjoyed perfect tolerance as long as they paid the jizza, or head tax, of the unconverted -- but he would never achieve the status of a true Arab of tribal descent, an 'arab al' ariba. He would always have to work harder to get ahead.
"No, I'll skip tea today," he told Rashid somewhat brusquely. "I want to finish this."
He bent over the workbench again, a rather ordinary young man in cheap shirt and trousers, with a headcloth that was carelessly askew. Hamid-Jones's six feet two inches would have been considered tall on Earth, but he had already completed half his growth when his parents had emigrated to the Martian Emirate, and as a consequence he was a head shorter than most of his Marsborn co-workers, and had heavier bones and musculature. Strength, he had often had cause to notice, was not as important in the world as height; it was eye level that counted. There was still a trace of the British Protectorate in his Arabic accent -- another factor setting him apart.
Rashid did not go away, as Hamid-Jones had hoped. He lingered in the doorway, his eyes straying alertly to the screen. "Let it go, whatever it is," he said. "It can't be that important."
Hamid-Jones reached up and switched to a muon-scope view in uninformative shades of gray. He went on working without replying. After a moment, Rashid tried again.
"Who's it for?" he asked slyly. "Not a falcon or saluki for someone in the palace, is it? That would be a terrific plum."
"It's a horse," Hamid-Jones said unwillingly.
"Ah, a horse. Very nice." Rashid's oily gaze shifted to the sealed cryocontainer that Hamid-Jones had neglected to stow out of sight.
"I'm giving it a third lung, like that mutation that cropped up in the Horse Guard stables."
Rashid pounced immediately. "Ah... but you're working with sequestered material, I see. That means..."
Hamid-Jones clammed up. "You'd better get going if you don't want to miss the tea break."
"As you like," Rashid said with a shrug. "Ma'al salaama." He left, the envy plain in his eyes.
Hamid-Jones set doggedly to work once more. Rashid would be spreading gossip in the canteen, but there was nothing he could do about it. The assignment was a plum, and he had no intention of shirking it. The Clonemaster, the esteemed Hassan bin Fahd al-Hejjaj, was grooming him for higher things-- there was no doubt about it. There had been other tests before this one.
It was a great opportunity, but not without its perils. One of Hamid-Jones's predecessors in the job had come to the Emir's personal attention -- unfavorably -- and the story was still told in whispers of how he had been fed alive to the Royal Aviary. Of course the circumstances were hardly comparable; the unfortunate cloning assistant had been guilty not of mere failure, but of stealing sequestered genetic material and selling it to members of the minor aristocracy anxious to improve the breeding of their hunting dogs. But salukis -- the Noble Ones -- were a royal prerogative. They could never be sold, only exchanged or given as gifts -- and that went for their DNA, too. Still, stealing genetic material of treasured animals was a time-honored custom, and it was usually the servants who were caught. Even in the time of the Prophet more than two millennia before, enterprising desert sheiks had schemed to purloin the semen of prize stallions and race it across the sands to waiting mares. That was how the Arabian breed had spread. Nowadays it was done by contraband nucleotides.
It took Hamid-Jones an hour of patient work to put together another plasmid carrying the passenger gene and to tease out an undamaged six-foot strand of the Winged One's DNA from the precious hoard the Clonemaster had entrusted him with. An enucleated egg had already been summoned from the files and was on standby. Now he was ready to prepare the cleavage sites.
He was just about to set the computer to do a search of base pair sequences on the long molecule when he became aware of a growing hum of voices in the main dome outside his cubicle. Doors slammed. There was a gregarious babble, almost like a Thursday night. A chattering group hurried past his door, and he could distinguish calls of "Allah isalmak" and "Take care." It sounded as if the laboratory was emptying out, but it was still a couple of hours till quitting time.
Rashid poked his head inside the door with a big grin. Beyond him, Hamid-Jones could see two of his friends, Ja'far and Feisel, looking flushed and excited.
"Why are you still hanging around?" Rashid demanded. "We're being let off early."
"Huh? What are you talking about?"
"A holiday's been declared," Feisel supplied, leaning in past Rashid's shoulder. "Three whole days, starting at sunset. There'll be public feasts and everything. Old Yezid Bent-Stick came round himself to pass the word. Yallah, come on, the place is closed."
"But we've just celebrated Iid al-Fitr. And the Feast of the Sacrifice is still two months off."
"It's a new holiday, I tell you," Feisel said impatiently. "It's been declared by the Vizier at the orders of the Emir himself."
Hamid-Jones scratched his head. "Why? What's it for?"
"Haven't you heard? The Emir is having himself beheaded again."

Guten tag! Oktoberfest 2009 ended last Sunday in Munich, but I'm taking it upon myself to officially extend it through this weekend. 'Cause after last night's maddening outcome, all I feel like doing is diving into a super-sized Steinkrugand drinking myself into a Bavarian oblivion. Das ist some serious bullScheiße you pulled last night, judges. Nein, nein and nein!
Okay, fine. It wasn't all bad. It actually started off pretty great. My favorite challenges are the ones that push the designers to the limits of their creativity, so I gave a big ole thumbs up to this week's task of turning nine divorcées' wedding dresses into something fabulous. Plus, Gordana made a funny. ''Hi, I'm Leah,'' said the first single lady. ''And I've been divorced for three months.'' To which Our Lady of Spoons replied: ''Congratulations.'' Ba-dum-bum. Another reason to be pro-wedding dress? It gave Tim Gunn an excuse to sprinkle these words throughout the episode: ''Designers, I'm sending in your divorcées!''
After the contestants selected their gowns, they hit up Mood for 25 bucks worth of extra fabric. By that time, Shirin was in full-on freak-out mode, since she — not Epperson! — was the last to pick and got stuck with the worst dress: 100 percent polyester, no beading, no appliqué, and the least amount of yardage. She also got a pill of a client named Charlie, who rambled on about wanting a Cher ''Half-Breed'' get-up, complete with feathers and a headdress. Don't know what kind of post-divorce life Charlie has in mind, but it obviously involves sitting barefoot astride a horse while lamenting a childhood filled with loneliness brought on by her complicated biracial ethnicity. Hey, thanks a bunch, Charlie. Now I won't be able to write this recap without hearing ''Half-breed! That's all I ever heard! Half-breed! How I learned to hate the word!'' blaring in my head.
Shirin's meltdown continued into the workroom until Tim, once more clad in his customary suit, swept in to save the day. As she wept tears of frustration, he gave her a hug (sweet, adorable) and some advice (genius, generous): lose the feathers but not her identity as a designer. ''Clear this table top off, take each of these textiles out and just play, like it's a big giant paper doll'' Tim said. With that, Shirin managed to get her head back on straight. Next thing we knew, she'd ditched the ''bad Vegas outfit'' (''HALF-BREED!'') and streamlined her design into a smart white frock snazzed up with some contrast stitching. ''I'm happy there aren't peacock feathers coming out of her butt,'' she said. And like a pint-sized cheerleader blessed with the determination of Tracy Flick, Shirin pumped herself up, telling the camera: ''I'm not going home for this. I refuse to go home for this.''
As the day wore on, Gordana went from cracking jokes with divorcées to breaking down while dialoguing with her husband's voicemail. She explained that she'd been divorced before, and this week's broken-marriage theme, combined with being separated from her family, just did the poor gal in. There she sat, sobbing into an electronic device that wouldn't, couldn't assuage her hurt. That her hand was stained with dark fabric dye only amplified the woe.
NEXT: Epperson just didn't get it

How to deal with slack students - page 3
So, I've started precepting in my ICU. The students I've had thus far have been senior BSN students and new graduate RN's. When I was starting out in nursing, I would read the night before, ask "smart" questions, and make every... Read More
- 3Sep 20, '10 by cpl_dvldogDuring my clinicals I noticed several things. One of the things I noticed was the unit I was asigned to normally set the tone of that experience. When the nurses are busy doing their jobs the students tended to stay busy also, but when the nurses wanted to sit at the desk and use the students like rented mules the students soon became disenchanted. In my second semester I did a trauma clinical rotation. When I was finished with my 2 patients I would walk around the unit and see if anything interesting was going on. If so I would ask if I could help, to heck with watching. My second day there I assisted with putting a halo on a woman with a broken neck, helped with removing a chest tube from a gunshot patient. My clinical instructor actually called the school and bragged about how much she enjoyed having me.
In another setting, L&D, there was not much going on, so some of the nurses thought myself and another student were there to do all their "dirty work". The third day in Labor and Delivery, two of the nurses sent me and another student to change the sheets on every bed in the unit. After the 5th or 6th bed I noticed neither nurse had moved. They were still sitting at the desk shooting the bull. I walked up and told them they could find me something else to do. I was a 4th semester student and I was there to learn, and I think I have changing sheets down pat by now. They thought I was lazy and it was my place to do the crappy jobs. Doing crappy jobs is not why the students are there, they are there to learn something. Not be treated like something that is beneith a nurse.
- 0Nov 3, '10 by JSlice.Thanks for your reply. There are generational gaps between many nurses. While doing a rotation in OB i worked with an old lady nurse who believed she was God of the nursery. During the rotation she railed me with questions, quizzing me and impatiently telling me how to perform tasks. Ridiculing me when answers were answered incorretly. I was later informed that back when she was doing nursing school it was like the army (?) Attitudes of the crusty old ladies on OB sucked and greatly reinforced my decision to not become an OB nurse. I will always remember her poor precepting abilities and never treat a student that way when i become a preceptor myself. ....and I will care for the old "God of the Nursery" in the ER when she falls and breaks a hip
- 0Nov 8, '10 by REDDOG RNPawashRN--
I apologize for this response not pertaining to the original poster's question, but the question you had about the pt. with a decreased O2 level and drop in SAT'S and what happens to the body and how the pt. compensates for the decreased O2 intriqued me and was driving me nuts. I love the challenge of a difficult question! So, I like to take a chance at answering it and if you could give me some feedback as to whether or not I'm on the right track. I would so appreciate it!!
Okay, here goes. If the patient has these low levels I would immediately think of respiratory acidosis. This is due to the fact that more CO2 is binding to the hemoglobin which results in less O2 being available to the tissues. As a result the patient develops hypoxemia and becomes cyanotic. They may have additional symptoms such as dypsnea, tachycardia, tachypnea, sweating, etc. In addition, the patient will develop neuro changes such as confusion, decrease in LOC, etc. The body compensates by increasing the respiratory rate, increasing the heart rate, increasing body temperature, etc. Sorry, can't think of any more additional symptoms off the top of my head.
Anyhow, so that's my overall summation of the question. Again, any feedback would be welcome and greatly appreciated. I am a newly licensed RN (got my license in June, so I guess that makes me still a new grad?). I'm currently looking for employment (like all the other new grads!). My desire is to be hired in the ICU as a new grad. The reason why is because I love the complexity and detail (and challenge!) of critical care. I enjoy all that pathophysiology and the technology that goes along with it. In additon to how the other aspects (such as intrepretation of labs, blah, blah, etc.) fit into the overall picture. I apologize for blathering on, but I could talk about this stuff forever!! Man, this stuff is so exciting to me.
Okay, I really need to conclude this as I need to work on my resume that I've been procrastinating on. Thanks again for reading this dissertation that has continued on forever!!
- 0Jan 3, '11 by wannabeagreatRNCan I start by saying that the new grad RN's behaving like this should remember that there are tons of new nurses waiting for their job! I can't fathom behaving like this, my parents taught me better, however if they didn't when I started nursing school my instructors further put the fear of God in me about such behavior lol! I am a new grad with a new position in the ICU and I do like what one poster said about their preceptor that laid everything out from the beginning of the morning, that is very helpful. I am a hardworker and can go 12-13 hrs without sitting down, however it is frustrating as I am being bounced around different preceptors and they all have different styles and give me different levels of autonomy. I also have difficulty because I feel like a stalker and a few of my preceptors seem to like for me to "go away" (in a nice way, but these are the vibes I get). The ICU I am working at has by far the best team work I have ever seen, I was told from day one, when 1 is working, we all work, I don't expect to see you taking a break while someone else is drowning, and they don't! I love it! Now when all is calm, everyone gets a chance to breathe
As for the student nurses, I believe you should talk to your management. Our school strictly prohibited any unprofessional behavior, and forget your cell phone, you better leave it somewhere! Our area is inudated with schools, and it is very competitive for clinical placement, if students here behaved like this the hospital would inform our school (names included or not) and we would get a very stern talking to as a group that a,b, or c happened and it would not be tolerated, and it worked! Our instructors also would not inform us who/what/where the complaint came from, for all we knew it could have been a family member. I did have a classmate get expelled for cell phone usage. If we had any "down time" which didn't happen so much, we were expected to answer call bells, stock, etc.
My advice from the other side of the fence is to try asking what their comfort level is/how many days of orientation they have had and laying out your expectations and plan of the day, it really is helpful and breaks the ice. The other thing is having a talk about team work, reiterating how to access protocols and suggest working with those during free time.
I do have a comment about "smart questions". It is amazing the stupid things that can spurt out of ones mouth when confused or put on the spot. I have been an EMT basic since I was 17, hence, I have known and studied the heart for 10 years now. I had a preceptor that was teaching me about EKG interpretation at a very high level, had me sooo confused that I actually asked him a question about "the superior or inferior ventricle" lol, I have no idea why, and I definitely know there is no such thing~! How big of an idiot does he think I am?

House Panel Boosts F-22A Spending
A House subcommittee this week authorized the Air Force to move forward with a multiyear procurement strategy for the F-22A, but modified the service's plan by pouring an additional $1.4 billion into the program to buy 20 fighters next fiscal session. The service's plan, however, is built around a break in Raptor purchases throughout fiscal year 2007.
The Air Force's FY-07 budget blueprint requests $2.9 billion for the Raptor program. The service's envisioned acquisition plan moves the aircraft's production work to the right and adds a total of four fighters beyond FY-06 plans, which would bring the Air Force's planned F-22 inventory to 183 airplanes. The revised service plan also would, according to blue-suited officials allow the service to keep the fighter's production line open until 2010, when Raptor prime contractor Lockheed Martin, is slated to begin building the F-35 Joint Strike Fighter.
Of those requested funds, the service would use $200 million to finance a multiyear acquisition plan designed to keep the fighter production line open between fiscal years 2008 and 2010. The Air Force wants to buy 60 aircraft over that three-year span, purchasing 20 fighters each year (Inside the Air Force, Feb. 10, p5). Service officials have said the Air Force could save between $200 million and $600 million with such a strategy.
But this week, prominent House Republican Rep. Curt Weldon (PA) criticized the service's new F-22A buying strategy, with his Armed Services tactical air and land forces subcommittee significantly altering the Air Force's revised Raptor acquisition strategy in FY-07 defense authorization legislation. A House staffer told ITAF after the panel's on April 26 approved its version of the spending measure that the service's strategy for buying its Raptor fleet has become embroiled in a bit of razzmatazz.
Those comments came after the subcommittee, which Weldon chairs, gave a thumbs up to the multiyear procurement strategy during its April 26 mark up. The subcommittee's bill stipulates the full panel's approval of that tactic should be contingent on receiving specific justification documents from the air service.
ITAF reported last month that the service will in coming months submit to Congress a "business case analysis," that will detail expected F-22A program savings generated by the new purchasing plan (ITAF, March 3, p1). The Raptor program office, located at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base, OH, in conjunction with the Alexandria, VA-based Institute for Defense Analyses, will conduct the study, which will quantify the service's anticipated costs and benefits of the plan. The subcommittee's stipulation hinges on the full Armed Services Committee receiving and being satisfied with that study.
However, lawmakers also authorized an additional $1.4. billion for the Air Force to procure 20 Raptors next fiscal year, which runs contrary to the service's vision of waiting until FY-08 before buying those 20 fighters.
In his opening statement, Weldon noted that during FY-06 budget deliberations, Air Force leadership proposed procuring 29 of the next-generation fighters in FY-07. But by the time the FY-07 defense budget request was delivered to lawmakers, the service had altered its FY-07 plans to include only $2 billion -- for subassembly work, with zero planned F-22A purchases. For his part, the subcommittee chairman bristled at that change.
"This amounts to incremental funding of the F-22 aircraft," Weldon stated during the mark-up. "Congress, to my knowledge, has not approved the incremental funding for major aircraft programs in decades."
He added that "in rare cases" lawmakers have signed off on incremental funding, but mostly for major Navy shipbuilding programs.
A committee staffer later that day reiterated Weldon's sentiment that incremental funding for aircraft programs goes against the decades-long grain of many defense-minded lawmakers and aides on Capitol Hill.
"We have a choice of zeroing out their money or funding a rational program based on the policies of Congress, which is no incremental funding," the staffer told ITAF during a telephone interview.
"That's a policy issue. It's not a dollar savings issue or aircraft delivery issue -- the multiyear procurement does that," the aide said. The subcommittee's revised strategy, according to the staffer, "would get them the airplanes a little bit sooner, and the program would shift a little bit to the left -- but not substantially because originally they were going to go with 29 airplanes this year."
Since rolling out the FY-07 budget request, senior Air Force officials have maintained that the service's revamped purchasing plan would build a "bridge" between F-22A production and the start of work on the JSF fleet.
The multiyear procurement will provide a "bridge of critical prime contractor resources in support of the Joint Strike Fighter -- potentially reducing the development and outyear production costs" for the complementary next-generation fighter, according to the service's FY-07 budget justification documents.
When asked if moving the Raptor buys to left -- as the subcommittee desires -- would create a production gap in FY-10 between work on the last F-22A and the first F-35, the House staffer responded: "That was all, in our view, bullshit to begin with."
The aide added the Defense Department and Air Force offered the revised buying plan because military officials needed money to fill coffers drained by unforeseen events, such as Hurricane Katrina relief operations. In the subcommittee's view, the F-22 was picked to be the bill-payer because the Air Force was late in signing an FY-05 Raptor contract, which pushed some costs to the right, the staffer opined.
The aide also told ITAF that while the first flight test of the JSF has been delayed from August until October, the overall schedule for that initiative has not changed "a whole lot."
There "was no change in the JSF [schedule], but all of a sudden they started worrying about production lines closing and having gaps," the aide said. "It was all horseshit."
If air service leaders are "really that concerned about [a production gap], then there are other things that they could do, but that's not an issue -- it was just an excuse," the staffer told ITAF.
During a April 27 telephone interview, a spokesman for manufacturer Lockheed Martin said, "funding requests and contracting method are a matter for our customer and best addressed by the Air Force."
At press time (April 27), a service spokesman had not responded to a reporter's request for comment on the subcommittee's actions.
The full Armed Services panel's decision on the Air Force's Raptor strategy could hinge on the service's business case analysis, slated to hit the street next month.
"If they don't give us what we want," the aide said, "or if it's not satisfactory, then it's meaningless."

.- On September 27, the special secretary for Women's Policies, Nilceia Freire, sent a proposal to the Brazilian Congress that would legalize abortion in that country and allow them to be obtained at state-run health facilities.
If approved the measure would modify the Brazilian Penal Code and remove all references to abortion as a crime. It would allow abortion on demand up the 12th week and in cases of rape up to the 20th.
It would also allow abortion at any time for life of the mother, in cases of anencephaly, or if there is "incompatibility with life."
Currently abortion is allowed in Brazil only for the life of the mother or in cases of rape. In cases of rape, women are not required to file a police report before obtaining an abortion, thanks to a measure signed into law last March by President Lula da Silva.
Bishop Odilio Scherer, Secretary General of the National Conference of Bishops of Brazil, said the president's actions were disappointing, as he had previously sent a letter to the bishops promising he would not sign any law that would constitute an attack on human life, in whatever stage. "We had hoped that the president would think hard and not present the proposal," said Bishop Scherer, adding that now the bishops hope further laws endangering the lives of the unborn will not be implemented.

Just play the hits, please. Off-Ramp's music special for August 23, 2014
Since you asked, Off-Ramp's theme music is by Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm
Ike Turner
Ike Turner's "A Black Man's Soul" features the opening track "Thinking Black," which is the theme music to KPCC's Off-Ramp.
We get questions from listeners just about every week and by far the most common one we get is: what's your theme song?
It's called "Thinking Black," an instrumental by Ike Turner and the Kings of Rhythm:
Video: Thinking Black - Ike Turner
It's the opening track to Ike's 1969 album "A Black Man's Soul" and was produced by Ike and his wife at the time, Tina Turner. The couple wouldn't split up for another 7 years. The divorce wasn't finalized until 1978.
This song is a pretty distinct departure from "River Deep — Mountain High."
A couple years ago we got an email from a member of the San Francisco funk band Monophonics. They'd recorded their own version:
Monophonics - "Thinking Black"
Do you know anyone else who's recorded a version of our theme song? Let us know in the comments!

Matthew D. Lagan
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Matthew Diamond Lagan (June 20, 1829, Maghera, County Londonderry, Ireland – April 8, 1901, New Orleans, Louisiana) was a U.S. Representative from Louisiana's 2nd congressional district from 1887 to 1889 and 1891 to 1893. He was a Democrat.
Lagan immigrated to the United States at age 14. In New Orleans, he fitted out vessels for the Confederate Navy, and served in the Confederate Navy himself. He was elected to terms on the New Orleans City Council in 1867 and 1882. After serving his first term in Congress, he chose not to run for reelection, but then ran in 1890 and defeated his successor, Hamilton D. Coleman.
Lagan died in 1901 and is buried in Metairie Cemetery.

PGA: "We Can Move Forward Without" Tiger
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- In an interview CNBC today, the PGA Tour Commissioner said that Tiger Woods' leave of absence will not have a significant impact on its TV ratings and financial performance.
Case in point: Last year Woods was sitting on the sidelines of the game for most of the year, recovering from a knee surgery; and in that time, the PGA had a record year on "a lot of fronts," the commissioner, Tim Finchem said.
Among those fronts: the PGA had raised $125 million for charity and performed "quite well" even without Woods playing in the PGA's top tournaments. During the interview even he pointed to new star players the PGA Tour was able to bring in last year, including Anthony Kim and Camillo Villegas.
"As a matter of fact, the top six performing tournaments on the PGA Tour in terms of net revenue for charity, which is an indication of their financial strength -- Tiger hasn't played in any of those six in the last five years ... we can move forward without him," Finchem said.Finchem said that he was going to announce some additional corporate sponsorships in a press conference today. "Let me just make this point," Finchem told CNBC. "If you look at the cumulative audience that Nielsen measures in 2007, 2008 and 2009, it was 26 million per event of people tuning in in 2007; the same number in 2008 when Tiger was out half a year, and up some in 2009, where our ratings were up."

The FBI says violent crimes include murder, rape, robbery and aggravated assault. For mothers who've buried their loved ones - the numbers reflect the pain they live each day.
Memphis takes the lead with 134 murders last year and more than 7,000 aggravated assault cases.
Closer to home, the Knoxville Police Department worked 18 murders and more than 1,000 aggravated assault cases.
Local 8 News spoke with a mother who says she still lives with the pain after two of her sons were murdered.
"Some days are easier than others and when they say time heals all wounds - my wounds aren't healed yet," said Terry Smith.
As for the most violent cities in Tennessee, Memphis and Nashville top the list.

Apple Dumplings
Authentic Old-World Apple Dumplings Handmade In Pennsylvania Dutch Country
Apple Dumplings 2 2
Absolutely Delicious! We loved these and they brought back wonderful memories of my childhood in Vermont, Massachusetts, and Pennsylvania. Having lived in CA for decades now, I especially appreciate them! December 2, 2014
"TASTEBUDS TANTILIZED WITHOUT MERCY!" When I first saw that you guys were making fresh apple dumplings,I was skeptical that you would get it right. So I decided to send them to my mom for the acid test! Having grown up in the Pennsylvania countryside,we routinely had these made from our own apples by my mom. Piping hot right out of the oven,and drenched in cold milk....a treat all children should experience! After having her call me in California,to say how incredible they were...I proceeded to order a total of 12 more for my friends both here and back east. You guys only allow for a five star rating,or your nose would be bleeding from the star count being so high!!! Nothing better,unless you have a tree in your backyard filled with elves,and even then....these dumplings would make them reconsider their life's work!!! Amazing,and you get them as fresh as if you baked them yourself! Get em',get em' get em'....and then do it again....remember...tis' the season!!!! December 11, 2013

Book synopsis
Finland, South Africa and Bosnia-Herzegovina are each burdened by memories of a civil war, between either social classes, racial groups or ethnic communities. History wars have followed the conflicts and been fought on the arenas of popular rhetoric, public memory, that is, monuments, museums and commemoration rituals, and history education. This book studies how the parties to these conflicts have attributed guilt to «the others» and victimhood to «us» in each country, and compares their respective memory politics and education strategies. The author draws on the potential on «history from below» activities and multiperspectival history lessons.
Contents: Post-conflict society – The burden of the past – Historical justice – Myths of guilt and victimization – Social memory – Transformation of public memory and history education – «History from below» – Multiperspectivality – International co-operation.
About the author(s)/editor(s)
Sirkka Ahonen is Professor Emerita of History and Social Science Education at the University of Helsinki. She has published several books on post-communist history curricula in eastern Europe, on the formation of historical identity among young adults in Finland and the role of schooling in the making of a civic society in northern Europe.
