and Health Act of 1970). The Act imposes upon covered employers a "general duty" to provide a safe workplace to employees and created the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) to adopt and enforce rules. For clarity and ease of enforcement, the Act also authorized OSHA to create specific standards for particular industries or risks. Several other agencies were created to conduct research, try enforcement cases, or otherwise contribute to the workplace safety system. Individuals and organizations in the private sector also play a considerable role in shaping OSHA's standards and priorities.
The administration of the Act is comprised of four basic functions: research on workplace risks and risk reduction; the development of specific safety standards (called rulemaking); enforcement of the rules through education and technical assistance, as well as investigation and punishment of violations; and adjudication and judicial review of standards and enforcement measures. In all these functions, OSHA and other federal agencies must comply with both the substantive and procedural requirements of the Act and other related federal rules, which prescribe what rules agencies like OSHA may make and how it must go about making them.
Several entities conduct research or provide information to OSHA (Figure E-1). The National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) is the principal government agency charged with conducting research regarding workplace hazards. NIOSH is part of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), within the Department for Health and Human Services. Unlike OSHA, NIOSH has no regulatory or enforce-

You glanced nervously at your watch. Your husband, Francis, was almost an hour late. He had promised he'd be home around six for dinner, it was now hitting seven. Sighing heavily you blew out the candle and put his dinner in the fridge.
Rubbing your pregnant belly you groaned as you heard a car pulled into the driveway.
"I'm home," shouted a Francis.
Ignoring him you continued to wash the dishes.
"Where's dinner?"
He walked into the kitchen to find you scrubbing dishes, "
_________." He walked up behind you and planed butterfly kisses on your neck, "What's wrong?"
"You're late
He paused as if he didn't expect that. But after a quick glance at the clock he realized the time. "I'm sorry," he said kissing you again. You giggled slightly as his chin tickled you. "Am I forgiven?"
"How about this, you and I spend a romantic day together just the two of us."
You giggled, "There's three of us."
Francis laughed and rubbed your belly while giving you a gently kiss on the lips, "Oui, the three of us."
Next morning
"You jerk!"
"What did I do?" Francis shouted trying to escape your wrath.
You grabbed what was available, in this case your hairbrush, and started to chase him with it. "I hate you! You a-hole! Manwhore!" at each insult you would hit him with your "weapon".
"I am not!" he cried in distress, "I've only been with you I swear!"
"Oh yeah, what about before we got together, hmmm?"
Francis turned pale, "_-_________."
"I knew it!" you started to cry, dropping your hairbrush and covering your eyes with your hands.
"__________, ____________, I never loved them! I love you," he said desperately trying to get you to stop crying.
"Really?" you asked your cries subsiding.
"Yes," he said smiling, "Even though I slept with hundreds of women I've only loved you."
"Hundreds?" you asked starting to cry again.
Francis paled again, "Non, non! Please stop crying!"
You continued to bawl. "I'm so ugly."
"Non, mi amour you are-."
"I'm so fat!"
"Non you-."
"I'M FAT!" you shouted running to the couch, pulled a pillow up to your face, and screamed into it.
You felt the weight on the couch shift as your husband sat down next to you groaning, "__________, I love you." He wrapped his arms around you. "I love you. Please, please. Stop. Crying
Sniffling you said, "You love me?"
"Oui," he sighed in relief as your cries subsided.
"You don't think I'm fat?" you mumbled into his shirt. He didn't hear you so you took his silence the wrong way. "Francis
"Oui mi amour?"
You pushed away from him, "YOU JERK!" With that you ran back to your room and slammed the door.
Francis let out a whine of hopelessness and collapsed onto the couch.

Wars begin where u will But they do not end where you please-Machiavelli He who makes a beast of himself gets rid of the pain of being a man- Dr. Johnson "..it does not require a majority to prevail, but rather an irate, tireless minority keen to set brush fires in people's minds.." - Samuel Adams your my best friend but if the zombies start chasing us im tripping you
I agree, Take it back to the store AND send a letter/e-mail to Remington. They will make good.
I purchased a case of Fiocchi 5 shot Golden Pheasants this fall ahead of upland game season. Finding quite a few slightly over crimped shells where the upper end is swelled. My Benelli SBEII will not run them, unless freshly cleaned and well oiled. Was able to buy the shells at a bargin price, so wil just work around them, but was suprised that Fiocchi had this issue. Other than the slightly swelled shells the gun will run any shells I have used.
I just took the opportunity to cut the top off and examine a shell first hand. I'd only seen drawings/pics of how they are loaded before, so i used the bad shell as an educational tool. It's tossed now that it's in pieces... But, yeah, Remington should owe me a new shell in a perfect world!!!
i'v had a couple of federal topgun trap loads thatlooked similar to this. Hav'nt tried to return them yet.

Pinnacle Classical Academy is a tuition-free, independent public school chartered by the State of North Carolina. Pinnacle was founded on the need for a true choice in education and the need for a college-preparatory K-12 school in Cleveland County.
Pinnacle Classical Academy will take initial applications thru March 2, 2015 to be considered for the March 9, 2015 lottery. Applications received after March 2, 2015 will be added to the waitlist in the order of receipt, for the August, 2015 school year. To ensure your child has an opportunity to be considered in the lottery, please have your application in the school office or postmarked by March 2, 2015.
What Makes Pinnacle Classical Academy Different
At Pinnacle Classical Academy our educational philosophy is based on the three R's – Rigor, Relevance, and Relationships. Rigorous coursework, relevant learning activities, and meaningful relationships with teachers and other staff members are all necessary to ensure that every student is successful and prepared for college. This is a bold proposition, but one that is necessary to meet the educational needs of students in a 21st century society.
The school maintains high academic expectations for all students and staff members. The standards we set for our students are designed to push them beyond the simple routines of content mastery. Students must also demonstrate the ability to apply their learning and discipline-specific thinking skills in a variety of educational contexts. This type of academic rigor pushes students well beyond what can be easily accomplished, and compels them to continually expand their levels of knowledge, understanding, and the ability to apply what they know in diverse situations.
The curriculum that Pinnacle Classical Academy utilizes is based on the idea that only through mastery of content knowledge can students become proficient at applying and utilizing what they have learned. The content knowledge and thinking skills taught at Pinnacle Classical Academy are drawn from items that are desperately needed in real-world tasks and professions. These include but are not limited to expressing knowledge and understanding in writing, working in teams to solve problems, effectively verbalizing information, conducting effective research, and thinking logically and critically in order to develop solutions. The learning opportunities provide students with practice and experiences in dealing with real-world problems in a controlled academic environment.
Not only does Pinnacle Classical Academy maintain high standards and utilize relevant content and skills, but the school also builds powerful and enduring relationships with students. The relationships that students build with adults help to ensure that they are motivated and successful in school. Through these relationships with effective instructors and other adults, students are able to meet the high expectations that are placed upon them.
Parental Partnership
Parents are a vital piece of the educational puzzle at Pinnacle Classical Academy. Education is a partnership and engaged parents are crucial to the success of students during the learning process. Pinnacle Classical Academy encourages all parents to be actively engaged in their student's learning, both at home and at school. Students with parents that are involved in their learning experience higher achievement, develop proper social skills, have a better attitude toward school and learning, and have a higher rate of graduating and attending college.
Pinnacle Classical Academy focuses on incorporating elements of classical education and research-based best practices in education to aid students in developing critical and logical reasoning skills. At Pinnacle Classical Academy, it is our goal to develop caring, productive citizens who exemplify ethical values throughout their daily lives. Integrated into all aspects of the academic curriculum will be the accepted patterns for developing lifelong learners and globally competitive students.
Pinnacle Classical Academy is located at 900 South Post Road in Shelby. This will be the school's home during the construction of our permanent campus. The plan for a permanent home is to construct a new K-12 campus on Joe's Lake Road, about one mile from the South Post Road location.

Health Plan Collaboration Plans
Minnesota Council of Health Plans Collaboration Plan 2010-2014 (PDF: 2.36MB / 44 pages) [Attn: Non-MDH site] |
Minnesota's licensed health plans must submit a plan to the Commissioner of Health every five years describing how they will collaborate with Community Health Boards and other community health-related organizations to achieve high-priority public health goals in the communities they serve. Collaboration Plans promote an exchange of information that allows the public and private sectors to begin to identify areas of mutual interest and work together on high priority health problems in a community.
In 1995, the first legislatively mandated Collaboration Plans formalized dialogues among public health and organized systems of health care. As a result, these groups started to develop a common language and to identify and undertake common efforts to achieve goals that prevent disease and improve the health of the people of Minnesota. They began to build collaborative relationships, and have learned to appreciate and understand each other's language, strengths, and positions.
Today, health plans engage in many collaborative activities to achieve public health goals with many community partners. The Collaboration Plan for the planning cycle of 2010-2014 is a combined plan, prepared by the Minnesota Council of Health Plans (MCHP). The plan combines into one document an extensive list of committees and regional groups that health plans participate on together with local health departments.
The plan also describes the public health work that these committees accomplish and the public health goals that they are addressing.

For new questions please post at magento.stackexchange.com, the community-run support site for the Magento community. We will be providing updates on the new forum solution soon. For questions or concerns please email firstname.lastname@example.com.
Hi all.
I'm attempting to create a shipping weight 'allowance' bar that fills as the customer adds products to their cart so they can see how full their box is on the current shipping tariff. I.e. total cart weight = 15kg, tariff 0-30kg which obviously equals 50% full. For this, I'll basically do some php maths with the variables and spit out a percentage and make a div width based on that.
My question is though, I can retrieve the cart weight value no problem but I also need to call or retrieve the 'max weight' or 'weight up to' value from the table rates, in this case it would be 30, which I can't seem to do!! I'm not new to Magento but new to php and have played around for hours but can't get this value.
Does anybody know how I would do this?
Many thanks.
Hi Spez86,
Table Rate values are stored in table shipping_tablerate.
Hope my answer will help you.
Hi sunovisio. Thanks for your reply. Please could you expand on that? How would I go about calling a value from that table? And where is the table referenced?
You can use this function to get the table rates collection:
$collection = Mage::getResourceModel('shipping/carrier_tablerate_collection');
I just wrote an article about that following your question: you can find it here.
EDIT: I managed to call the data I was looking for but it seems it's just reading the first line in the table.
I'm using the Premium Matrixrate extension and on the collection.php file, setWeightRange() function obviously sets the weight range for the rate result, and it's this I'm trying to call on the Estimate Shipping page: template/checkout/cart/shipping.phtml. This is what I've written:
<?php $collection = Mage::getResourceModel('premiumrate_shipping/carrier_premiumrate_collection'); foreach($collection as $rate) { $weighttomax = $rate->getData(); } echo "{$weighttomax["weight_to_value"]}"; ?>
This echoes '30' which is right but when I increase the cart weight to over 30, this figure should increase to the next 'weight_to_value' in the table rates which is '60' - it doesn't, it just echoes 30.
Any ideas? Sunovisio THANK YOU!!!
You are awesome! I grabbed the data from the array that I needed and now I can use that value to in a variable that I can call my 'Maximum weight' value. Your article is super! You should re-post it here for all to see. A* my friend!
Thanks again!

A Golden Opportunity With a Silver Lining
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- If the headline of my article read, "Caterpillar Announces Gold-Plating Option for all Its New Machinery," the public would wonder why Caterpillar (CAT - Get Report) would do such a thing.
The world's largest maker of construction equipment is, according to Reuters, doing something even more lucrative. It has begun exporting Chinese-made machinery to the Middle East and Africa, part of a plan to offset a dip in China's economic growth.
That may be more like striking gold for Caterpillar than using gold to make its construction equipment look shinier. Caterpillar looks shiny enough with its 67% (year-over-year) second-quarter earnings growth and its stock selling at only eight times forward earnings.
To add a silver lining, Caterpillar's five-year expected PEG ratio is an unbelievably cheap 0.52. The Price-to-Sales ratio is also below 1 (0.86). Price-to-sales is derived by dividing a stock's current price by its revenue per share for the trailing 12 months.
CAT shares are selling for less than its revenue per share, yet its quarterly revenue growth as of the end of June was up a pleasant 22% and its Return on Equity (trailing 12 months) is a plus 40%. If that's not enough, it pays a $2.08-per-share annual dividend. If we were so fortunate to catch one more down day like last Thursday and buy CAT shares at $82.10, that would bring the yield to 2.53%. There's still a good amount of fear and uncertainty looming, so we may experience a market downdraft before the "all's clear" signal is sounded. As the chart below tells us, Caterpillar's share price follows earnings and revenue growth. CAT Earnings Per Share Growth data by YChartsEquipment companies like Caterpillar are well off their highs because the perception persists there's a worldwide economic slowdown and that the mining sector, which includes precious metals, is dead in the water. Yet, the Federal Reserve Bank trotted out its latest dog-and-pony show to the media spotlight as recently as Tuesday to vanquish this sense of hopelessness and clue investors in. Eric Rosengren, the president of the Federal Reserve Bank of Boston, showed up on both CNBC and the Wall Street Journal to turn up the noise about what the Fed needs to do to jump-start the comatose economy.

1. Abilities
Taric's passive allows him to regenerate mana for hitting things. That means minions, neutrals, players, and yes, even buildings. This is the main reason Taric wants his mace to become close friends with your opponent's face.
Nearly useless if the other team has an Executioner's Calling. In high ELO games, you are very likely to encounter teams which have a ranged dps, who, if they see your team has a healer of any sort, will almost certainly be working an EC into their build. Thus, you will be taking, at most, ONE point in this skill until late game. I prefer not to level it at all unless I'm really getting harassed.
Shatter This is the skill which, when not on cooldown, will provide you with a decent amount of defense (30 armor at rank 5). This is a great skill for bursting an opponent down while they're stunned by your next skill. . .
Dazzle This is how Taric sets up his ganks. Note that the closer you are, the more DAMAGE it does, but the shorter the duration of the STUN it does. The inverse is also true. The further you are, the less DAMAGE it does, but the longer the STUN duration. What this means is that you want to be casting this max range. Taric is one of the few heroes where it's actually not necessarily a terrible thing if your opponents are running from you when you are chasing them.
Radiance This is how Taric makes the mace meet face. Note that not only does this ability give YOU a large damage boost, but you're like a walking rally stick for your teammates as well! Combined with a relatively short cooldown, this is one amazing ability, and one you'll want to be sure to rank up every time it's available. Its progressively larger mana cost means you'll want to use this ability in short bursts so as to conserve mana. The golem buff can prolong this ability's uptime by several seconds, so don't forget to get it whenever you can.
2. Introduction
Taric is a champion that is oft misunderstood and oft misplayed. Many see that he has not one, but two abilities which heal and automatically assume he's meant to be a healbot for the other champions. What they fail to realize is that Taric is capable of not only holding his own in melee combat, but giving his teammates an incredible buff to their damage and healing at the same time! All he requires is a proper build to make his carry + support component shine.
3. Masteries & Runes
The short answer:
For masteries, go 21/9/0 avoiding cooldown reduction, magic penetration, and making sure to pick up rally.
For runes, go 100% Crit chance (Malice).
The long answer:
Taric's cooldowns are short, so there is no need to invest in cooldown reduction either in masteries or runes. Be sure to pick up improved exhaust if you go exhaust and improved rally for the magic damage buff (primarily for your caster teammates) and the increased duration (for longer team fights and tower pushing). For runes, you want to go all critical strike chance. Why? Your ultimate already gives you incredible damage. Your items will give you incredible attack speed, nearly capping you. The most effective use of your IP is in crit chance runes. A full tier 3 crit rune page will give you nearly 29% crit without having a single percent of crit from items. Wow!
4. Items
The short answer:
Starting item: Vampiric Scepter
Build order:
Berserker's Greaves
Sword of the Divine
Madred's Bloodrazor
Last Whisper
Stark's Fervor
The long answer:
This build utilizes attack speed to achieve the maximum benefit of Taric's passive and ultimate.
To begin with, we will be building a Malady for some lifesteal, which will remove your need to rely on Imbue or HP regen items to recover whatever HP you may lose from minions or players. So start out with a Vampiric Scepter as your first item. Combined with Taric's passive, this will keep you in the lane as long as possible, key to maintaining early lane presence and ensuring that you are not outleveled by your lane opponents.
This is good advice for nearly any champion without teleport, but if you can at all do it, try to buy at least Boots of Speed with your first purchase. This will get you back to the action more quickly, ensuring minimal loss of laning XP.
Next you will build your Sword of the Divine, which wreaks havoc on enemy players every fourth swing and is absolutely ridiculous for farming neutrals and lane minions.
Your next item, Madred's Bloodrazor further amplifies your killing ability, making even the most beefy tanks fear your swiftly swinging mace. Not only does it give you 40% attack speed and a massive 4%-max-hp-per-hit passive, it also gives you 30 (54 with max rank Radiance) attack damage and 25 more armor!
Next up is Last Whisper. If your enemies' tanks weren't already quaking in their boots, they will be now with a devastating 40% armor penetration, 40% MORE attack speed, and another 20 (36 with rank 3 Radiance) attack damage. Most games will not progress past this point, but if they do. . .
Your final item is a Stark's Fervor. This will nearly cap your attack speed, give you more lifesteal, reduce your nearby opponents' armor, and give your allies a nice little aura which gives them lifesteal and attack speed.
5. Skill Order
Priority for skilling up is as follows:
Radiance (at 6, 11, 16, no exceptions)
It's up to you whether you want to pick Shatter or Dazzle as your first ability. I usually pick Shatter for the potential burst.
6. Summoner Abilities
Rally is a non-negotiable. It is too good on Taric combined with his ultimate to not take.
Exhaust/Ghost is up to you. I usually end up going Exhaust since it can also be readily used as a defensive measure against physical dps heroes.
7. Build Example
8. Pros / Cons
Great Melee DPS
Stand toe-to-toe with tanks and win
Excellent ability to initiate ganks with stun
Excellent jungle farmer
Makes efficient use of both lizard and golem buffs.
Great team damage buff and heal over time.
Excellent tower pusher.
As with all carries, susceptible to crowd control
Early game, much less of a threat to enemies, susceptible to harassment.
9. Creep Jungling
I wouldn't recommend jungling until you have at least a Malady and Berserker's Greaves and at least rank 3 Shatter. Once you have that, you can walk into most neutral camps and level them quickly and without issue, but you might want to even wait until you have Radiance. Once you have Radiance, it's a done deal. You can solo all the creeps except Baron.
10. Working in the team
Your stun should be the one to initiate as its duration is based upon the distance to the target. Try to lane with physical dps champions and during the team fights, stay near them so that they get your ultimate's aura.
11. Farming
Hit stuff. If you want to down a creep wave quickly, whack each of them a couple of times and then pop Shatter.

Contact Sports Desk: Call: 603-516-2949 / E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com Annaliese Schmidt does her part for the Newmarket baseball team
Wednesday, May 29, 2013
NEWMARKET — Playing baseball for Newmarket High School is no big deal for Annaliese Schmidt. As far as she's concerned, she's just one of the guys.
"I just like being around the guys,' Schmidt said. "It's the only opportunity to play with them. I can't play soccer or basketball with them. They're fun. They're different." There was some uncertainty when Schmidt said she might play softball her senior year. Her coach and teamamtes made it abundantly clear how important she was to the baseball team and eventually she agreed to return. "We've always had her on the team, so it was nice that she came back," Morin said. "She just belongs here. She's willing to give up her body and get dirty (on the field). She's so tough. It's nice to have her." Schmidt also plays girls soccer and basketball and has been an influence on those teams, leading both to the state tournament with all-state performances this past year. In fact, Schmidt helped lead the girls' soccer team to its first-ever trip to a state championship game last fall, a 1-0 loss to Littleton. She will attend Plymouth State University in the fall to pursue a criminal justice major and has been recruited to play for the women's soccer team. She wants to be a police officer. Of course, right now she would like to help the Mules get back to the state championship game, which they lost last year to Sunapee, 13-1. "We are a talented team," Schmidt said. "Coming off the loss from last year (in the final) makes us want to get back there. Nobody liked that feeling last year." Which is why second-year coach Stan Jurkoic is tickled to have Schmidt on his team and in the in the starting lineup. "You know what? She's proven herself," Jurkoic said. "She's done a great job for us the two years I've been here. She's been steady and works hard, and she loves it."
"Annaleise was playing," he said. "So I got to see her. I would hear about his girl, Annaliese. 'She's pretty good,' everybody said when I called about her. 'She's pretty good, better than a lot of the guys on the team.'" So Jurkoic knew she she could play even before he was named head coach before the 2012 season. This year Schmidt has helped the team as a starting left fielder and more recently as the team's third baseman. In the batting lineup she has moved from seventh to sixth. "She's very aggressive," Jurkoic said of Schmidt in the outfield. "She will attack the ball, line drives. She'll dive to the ground and come up with thye catch. Jurkoic recalls an early-season game at Wilton-Lyndeborough with Schmidt in left field and a runner in scoring position. "There's a line drive to left," Jurkoic said. "She came in on it, straight in, dived for it and caught it. I could tell she hit hard on her shoulder. Great catch, got the out and prevented the run from scoring." Schmidt came in rubbing her shoulder and Jurkoic asked if she was OK, which, no surprise to Jurkoic, she was."She's right there," Jurkoic said. "She's always swung the bat well for us. I had her at seventh and I moved her up to sixth. I can always count on her to get her swings in. That's what I like about the guys in the lineup. Get your swings in. Get them in early and she does. She hacks away. She's been great."Lest anyone wonder, Annaliese Schmidt isn't just marking time on the Newmarket bench. She is a factor, a key player, and that's something Jurkoic quickly makes very clear."She's not just someone on the team hanging around," he said. "She's in the thick of things. She's right there. She's been a great person to coach." |

Repurchased 11.4 million shares for $1.5 billion
2014 core EPS guidance increased $0.75 to between $7.90 and $8.10
CHICAGO, July 23, 2014 /PRNewswire/ --
The Boeing Company [NYSE: BA] reported second-quarter core earnings per share (non-GAAP) of $2.42, reflecting strong performance and favorable tax items (Table 1). Second-quarter 2014 results included a $272 million after-tax charge ($0.37 per share) on the KC-46A Tanker program reflecting the cost of additional engineering and systems installation work required to complete the Engineering and Manufacturing Development contract. Favorable tax items include the previously announced tax benefit of $116 million for the 2007-2008 tax settlement, as well as an additional tax benefit of $408 million in the second quarter. Core earnings per share guidance for 2014 increased to between $7.90 and $8.10, from $7.15 to $7.35, reflecting the $408 million tax benefits, strong operating performance and the KC-46A Tanker charge. GAAP earnings per share guidance for 2014 increased to between $6.85 and $7.05. "Strong operating performance across our production programs and services businesses drove revenue and earnings-per-share growth and healthy operating cash flow, which supported $1.5 billion in additional share repurchases in the quarter," said Boeing Chairman and Chief Executive Officer Jim McNerney. "We delivered our first 787-9 and our 8,000th 737, successfully completed a key missile defense intercept test, and delivered our 100th EA-18G Growler to the U.S. Navy." "While challenges resolving engineering and systems installation issues on our tanker test aircraft are resulting in higher spending to maintain schedule, the issues are well understood and we remain on path to begin flight testing fully provisioned tankers the first part of next year," McNerney said. "With 783 new commercial airplane orders to date this year and significant contracts in the quarter for military aircraft and satellites, our backlog remains large and diverse. Overall, our strong first-half financial performance, sustained focus on growth and productivity, and positive market outlook support our increased earnings guidance for the year," he said.
Operating cash flow in the quarter was $1.8 billion, reflecting commercial airplane production rates, strong operating performance and timing of receipts and expenditures (Table 2). During the quarter, the company repurchased 11.4 million shares for $1.5 billion, leaving $6.8 billion remaining under the current repurchase authorization expected to be completed over approximately the next two years. The company also paid $0.5 billion in dividends in the quarter, reflecting an approximately 50 percent increase in dividends per share compared to the same period of the prior year.
Cash and investments in marketable securities totaled $11.3 billion at quarter-end (Table 3), down from $12.2 billion at the beginning of the quarter, primarily due to the share repurchases. Debt was $8.9 billion, unchanged from the beginning of the quarter. Total company backlog of $440 billion was unchanged from the beginning of the quarter, and included net orders for the quarter of $23 billion. Segment Results
Commercial Airplanes second-quarter revenue increased 5 percent to $14.3 billion on higher deliveries. Second-quarter operating margin was 10.8 percent, reflecting the delivery volume and strong performance offset by the $238 million pre-tax charge on the KC-46A Tanker program (Table 4). During the quarter, Commercial Airplanes delivered the first 787-9 Dreamliner and the 787 program received 330-minute ETOPS certification. In July, Emirates Airline and Qatar Airways finalized orders totaling 200 777X airplanes and Monarch Airlines announced a commitment to purchase 30 737 MAX airplanes. Commercial Airplanes booked 264 net orders during the quarter. Backlog remains strong with over 5,200 airplanes valued at a record $377 billion. Defense, Space & Security
Defense, Space & Security's second-quarter revenue was $7.7 billion. Operating margin was 7.5 percent, reflecting the $187 million pre-tax charge recorded at BMA on the KC-46A Tanker program partially offset by strong operating performance (Table 5). Boeing Military Aircraft (BMA) second-quarter revenue was $3.5 billion, reflecting fewer C-17 and P-8 deliveries partially offset by higher F-15 deliveries. Operating margin of 4.7 percent was impacted by the charge on the KC-46A Tanker program. During the quarter, BMA was awarded a contract for 44 E/A-18 and F/A-18 aircraft from the U.S. Navy. Network & Space Systems (N&SS) second-quarter revenue was $1.9 billion, reflecting lower commercial satellites volume, and operating margin increased to 7.8 percent. During the quarter, N&SS completed a successful Missile Defense System intercept in flight test. Global Services & Support (GS&S) second-quarter revenue was $2.3 billion, reflecting lower volume in maintenance, modifications and upgrades. Operating margin increased to 11.6 percent reflecting strong performance. During the quarter, GS&S was awarded a 5 year contract to provide support for Australia's Airborne Early Warning & Control (AEW&C) aircraft. Backlog at Defense, Space & Security was $63 billion, of which 36 percent represents orders with international customers. Additional Financial Information
At quarter-end, Boeing Capital's net portfolio balance was $3.4 billion down from $3.5 billion at the beginning of the quarter. Unallocated items and eliminations totaled $126 million at quarter end, down from $177 million in the same period of the prior year, primarily due to lower deferred compensation expense. Total pension expense for the second quarter was $693 million, down from $753 million in the same period of the prior year. The company's effective income tax rate was 3.7 percent at quarter end, down from 33.4 percent in the same period of the prior year. The second quarter 2014 effective income tax rate included a $265 million benefit for a tax basis adjustment, $143 million benefit for a 2009-2010 tax settlement and the previously announced benefit of $116 million for the 2007-2008 tax settlement. Outlook The company's 2014 financial guidance (Table 7) reflects continued strong performance in both businesses.
Boeing's core earnings per share guidance for 2014 increased to between $7.90 and $8.10, from $7.15 to $7.35, reflecting the $408 million tax benefits, strong operating performance and the KC-46A Tanker charge. GAAP earnings per share guidance for 2014 increased to between $6.85 and $7.05. Commercial Airplanes operating margin guidance increased to greater than 10 percent on strong operating performance. Defense, Space & Security operating margin guidance is unchanged at approximately 9.5 percent. Boeing Military Aircraft operating margin guidance is lowered to approximately 9 percent. Global Services & Support operating margin guidance increased to approximately 11 percent reflecting strong performance. Boeing's effective tax rate is now expected to be approximately 23 percent in 2014, down from approximately 29 percent, to reflect the additional tax benefits recorded in the second quarter and continues to assume the extension of the research and development tax credit.
